Ugh, I just want to have this baby! My due date is Saturday and had a doctors appointment today and still no progress, not dilated, cervix thick. I know those checks don't mean much, but it's just not what I wanted to hear.
Also, I thought my practice induced a week over due, but today they said 10 days, so I could be pregnant for almost another 2 weeks. Now I'm worrying that I shouldn't have stopped working this week cause I could have to go back to work when the baby is 9-10 weeks old and I'm so bored.
Please remind me no one has been pregnant forever and thanks for letting me vent.

Can you make lots of plans with friends? Lunch dates, coffee, movies, whatever. Nothing like having to cancel plans because you're on your way to the hospital!
Sorry! I would be frustrated too! Try your best to distract yourself this weekend with all the fun things you won't be able to do once the baby is here.
Former GPer popping in with an anecdote...a little over 13 months ago, I went to the doc on a Monday at 39.5 weeks and was told that there was no way I was having a baby anytime soon. No dilation, no effacement. Nothing. The OB's scheduler even called me that afternoon to schedule my induction for 41w6d. After I hung up the phone, I had a meltdown over the prospect of being pregnant for another 2+ weeks.
36 hours after that meltdown, my water broke. And AJ was finally vacuumed out of my body 29 hours later, because he felt like taking his own sweet time (he gets that from my husband's side of the family). Hang in there...you will NOT be pregnant forever

Thanks everyone! These days just seem so long. Went on a long walk today, been sitting on my yoga ball and told FI to hurry up and come home so we can have sex. I know she'll come when she's ready, but I dread every call and text from people asking me how I'm feeling and asking when the baby will come!
