hi i am due Oct 16 which is 2morrow, i have no signs of labor. i mean i feel no pain no cramps..not even the mildest discomfort isn't that weird!! i want this pregnancy over with what should i do. please share your experience as if you delivered earlier than due date on due date or later. and how did labor start, all of a sudden or gradually Cox i dint feel anything at all, even the BH contractions my tummy gets hard no pain. i am not complaining i guess i am the lucky one but i just want this over with. do you think i LL go into labor on my due date???? please help
i would like to add that baby has fully dropped Cox i feel so much pressure and i am peeing every 5 MIN yes every 5 min, so is labor soon? or what????
OK people!! stop telling me to relax...i asked everyone to share their experience and not freak out on me..i am asking for help OK!! if you dint have kids stop posting please !!
just because your doctor told you your due date was Oct 16, doesn't automatically mean you will have to have the baby by then!! Relax, don't stress yourself out, it will happen as it is supposed to happen. It is not uncommon to go past your due date (as uncomfortable as that might be!)
oh angel you poor darling i know how you feel well if the baby has fully dropped it shouldn't be too far away, often there is a mucus discharge first this is know as the plug and then sometimes your waters break and some times its just contractions a bit stronger than breasting hicks and closer together but i had a friend who had no signs at all and then all of a sudden she went to the loo to do what she thought was a pooh and she gave birth to her son so everyone is different, maybe by the time you read this answer you will be in full blown lab our all i can advise is relax and it will all happen b4 you know it you will be a mummy, best of luck to you
From what my doctor told me, they will let you go 2 weeks after your due date. Remember, you can go into lab our at any time, so don't get yourself worked up. I know that late pregnancy is so hard to deal with, but believe me, your baby will be here before you know it! You will know that your are in lab our. Some signs to look for are: your water breaks, loss of your mucous plug, frequent bowl movements and pressure in your belly or contractions.
I was 6 days early with my son, and lab our just started out of the blue with me. I did not have any breasting hicks in late pregnancy. My water broke and half a day later my contractions started.
Try walking or having sex. Those two things can help jump-start lab our.
Due dates are based on an AVERAGE length of pregnancy. Every body is different. Please let the baby take its time coming into the world, don't rush it. If you go too far past your due date, your doctor can decide whether or not labor should be induced.
Is this your first baby? I had four and all were early. Sometimes with your first they come late. That is very common. I would try walking, some times that helps. but really that baby will come when she/he is ready. The Dr. won't usually let you go more than 2 weeks past with out inducing, which is not fun so I have heard. I promise you won't be pregnant forever. Also you can drop a week before labor or hours.
is this your first. most first babies take longer (don task me why). but everyone i know went over their due date on first birth. mine was 9 days over. So dint panic,he will come out when hes good and ready, i know your impatient, but it will happen. good luck
All births are different. I have 3 children, my goodness they were all different. 1st child was 5 weeks early, 2ND was 3 weeks late, and 3rd was 6 days early. BH came with only 2. Most people would probably say babies come when their ready. I hear walking is good to start labor. I'm sure you'll get plenty of responses on this question with many different answers and experiences, just take care of yourself so not to put baby in harm, he/she will come when ready.
Angel, you should be attending regular doctors appointments, and your doctor should be guiding you through this process. I wouldn't panic too much now, but if you are really worried- I'd suggest speaking with a doctor, or call the lab our ward of the hospital and speak with a midwife. I was a week late when I had my daughter, they ended up inducing me, but two hours before they induced me I went into natural lab our! I would suggest speaking to a midwife or doctor- you should really have been briefed on what to expect now that your due date is here.
You know everybody I know including myself has a cleaning story the day their water breaks. I had no signs of labor the days before, but the day my water broke I was cleaning my house really good , not something I do every day, and then I sat down to relax and a little bit later my water broke.
It's okay It just happens...you ll start feeling a little different...and your belly will get hard and you just kinda time those if that doesn't happen you can start walking or having lots of sex...that's the only two things id recommend cause those are the only two that's pretty safe... You'll pro ably have the baby in a few days after your due date and if not the doctor will pro ably induce you. Then you ll have your new bundle of joy. Congratulations on the baby.
I have had many of my friends tell me that they went 2 weeks past their due date! I was lucky and both my children were 3 weeks early! I know how you feel and when the baby feels good and ready to be born, it will! In my case, my water broke each time. But the week up to that point, I was having contractions and a horrible backache (I had back labor both times). Check in with your doctor or talk to a nurse. Good Luck and I hope your delivery goes well for you!
You could go into lab our on your own, or you could go overdue. The last part of pregnancy sucks huh!!! Lil. It seems to take forever, but your baby will be here before you know it. You could try to have sex, I know that put me into lab our, but I was only 34 weeks! Lil oops. It stopped and at 37 weeks, I too, was DONE with being pregnant, and I told my Dr that, and that I wanted to be induced, he said sure, when, and we had him the following Monday. Not all Dr's will be a keel about it, I am just lucky and have a aw some Dr. As much as it sucks, all you can do is wait and hope that it starts, and find comfort in knowing that for definate sure, you only have to be pregnant for 2 more weeks at the very MAX. Ask your dr at the next appt to strech your cervix, sometimes this will put you into labour within a few hours, drink red raspberry leaf tea, which is good for the uterus and may help move things along. Thats about all I can tell ya, other than I hope it happens soon for U, and make sure you post when you have the baby to let us know how it went! Good luck sista
It can be give or take 2 weeks difference. I have had 3 children and one on the way. My last one was 6 weeks early and labor just started with no warnings. I just started feeling very faint cramps all day long. Nothing painful though. I had him the next morning. With my first it was the day before his due date and same thing. No warning. I just woke up in the middle of the night in some horrible pain. It snick up on me. I was induced with my 2ND. So it will happen soon probably. You dint have to necessarily feel bad before you go into labor. Good luck!
with my first child (and first children tend to be overdue) anyways... at 40 weeks nothing at all..... they let me go to 42 weeks induced labor... nothing so i had a c section..
then again with my twins i has no signs of labor and my water suddenly broke... so who knows i guess it is just up to the little one as to when he/she wants to be born.
I know that the last days are absolutely miserable.... I could just count the minutes... all i can say is that .. I have heard walking will bring labor on.. however i did it and all i got was tired...
i feel for you.. maybe you can ask the Dr to induce labor asap... some will and some wont .. for they most part they just say let it happen naturally..
my last baby was born three days after her due date. the only thing that worked was a lot of walking. i tried the spicy food and most of the other wives tales, and none of them worked.
good luck
If you have dropped then labor should be soon. I gave birth in may. My due date was may 26, but i delivered on may 22. I was scheduled for a section but ended up having a normal birth. Since i was already at the hospital they went ahead and induced me, but I felt everything. I knew when my water broke, which is a sign your getting closer and should probably head to the hospital. If you want a natural birth great but i highly recommend an epidural. I had one and loved it. Labor Ilsa hard work and your body knows what to do by instinct just remember to breathe and everything will be fine. If you go over your due date talk to your Dr about inducing you. but if you've dropped your time should be coming soon. Congratulations and good luck!
My daughter was due September 22 but was not actually born till September 30. I actually ignored the doctors calculation because I new the night I conceived, he was thinking that I was late.
I started a very light labor and did not even know it on a Saturday morning. I was ironing and was getting a cramp in my leg it took me a couple of hours to realize that this was the beginning of labor.
It did not progress very far and I went to the Mall and went shopping and everyone was freaking out because I was in labor and at the mall and we did not end up going to the hospital until midnight.
Labor had intensified a bit but it was not until 6 am that they asked if they could break my water (yes) and she did not actually deliver until 12:10pm. Start to finish it was about 29 hours - the last eight were pretty heavy.
But on the flip side same daughter having her own child first baby due Feb 4 and on Jan 4 walks into the bathroom and water breaks at 4:10 pm gets to the hospital and has that baby by 8:10 - one month early, 7.7 pounds and still had time to get drugs because the doctors thought it would take longer.
Lastly if you want it over early there is somewhere on your body that you can massage. My daughter could get a natal massage but there is somewhere on your body when massaged inducing labor and they do not ever want to be liable so they will not do that
Good Luck - perhaps you will have the baby tomorrow October 16Th is a great day - it is my birthday LOL
Due date october 16! Very desperate pls help?
