40 weeks 2maro and no signs of labor :(?

Question

Im soooo frusterated! I lost my mucus plug last week, had a membrane sweep last thursday, and my doctor said my bag of waters was bulging and still no baby! :( My doctor had thought that i would go this weekend but here i am with a huge tummy still. Im trying really hard to let him come on his own time but im sooo uncomfortable. He's really low so anytime he turns his head it grinds on my cervix which does NOT feel good. I get painful contractions along with a backache but i've had them for weeks and they're still to far apart to be going to the hospital. This is my first baby but he tried to come at 35 weeks. I was given a shot to stop contractions and now im thinking that that may have been a bad idea. I really hope he comes soon. My boyfriends family from out of state is coming in on friday for a week to see the baby but he may not even be here then :( Im a little frusterated that they decided to come so close to my due date because if i have him this thrusday or friday Im not going to want to be going to this big bbq/party. i mean i will have just given birth! hello! Im not sure what my question was anymore lol but if anyone has any advice or some encouragement that would be great :) I just needed to vent to someone who knows what im going through....my boyfriend is very supportive but he cant really understand how uncomfortable everything is

Answer 1

Getting that shot at 35 weeks was definitely NOT a bad idea!  His lungs were still maturing then!

You just wait :)  I was in the same position.  Then one morning, *splash*, my water broke.  He was born 2 hours later!

I walked and walked and walked a few days before that though.

Answer 2

85% of woman go overdue with their first baby. All you can do it wait. Baby will come when he/she is ready unfortunately. With my 1st i had to be induced and she was 10 days late. She didn't want to come at all. I'm 34 weeks just now and feel like i can't go any further. This is my 3rd so hopefully will make early arrival. My last one was a week early. Your body does sound like it's preparing so should be anytime. Try walking and squatting right down helped me bring on my labor with my 2nd. Also fresh pineapple is suppose to help. Good Luck x

Answer 3

youcan give birth 2 wks early or 2 wks late

Answer 4

Hun I am in the same situation. I am starting to get depressed! I thought that my lil guy would be early I am 39 weeks and due this Sat. My docs. said I wasn't going to make it to my due date because he is so low. but here i am still waiting!!!!! I hate it I had my bloody show a week a go and have all the pre-labor signs for the past 3-4 weeks!!!!!! and I am seriously going crazy. I feel like I want to break down n cry because he is never going to come out! My family is also coming in this weekend because they wanted to see the baby and now there might not be a baby!!! and the next weekend they won't be able to come out here. soo I am depressed! I don't want to relax I want my baby!!!!
