I am STILL pregnant!!!! How NOT to go crazy?

My baby is over 9 lbs already. I have had raspberry leaf tea, long walks, orgams, my membranes stipped 43 hours ago, actupuncutre, chiopracter prenatal care, cod liver oil, evening primrose, bumpy car rides, and more! My birthing partner can't come from Sunday night to Monday night... I thought last night was the night, I really did.. Now 5:30 am and NOTHING. How NOT to go crazy????

You aren't even due yet. Judging by your other questions, you're only 39 weeks. One more to go. Ultrasounds can be off by up to 2 lbs. There's a chance your baby will not weigh 9 lbs, but even if he did, that's still an "average" sized newborn.



Stop stressing, stop trying to bring on labor. Enjoy the last few precious days you have with that baby in your womb. You'll never get it back.
Reply:They can induce labour, call your doctor and tell him. they give you oxytocin--or something--in an IV and it starts the contractions. Good luck!!!!!
Reply:It just sounds like the baby isn't ready. I would take comfort that my body knows how to grow a healthy baby despite all my attempts to sabotage that.
Reply:Just relax because all the anxiety and the stressing you are doing over this may prolong labor. Take a lukewarm (NOT HOT) bath and put on some soothing music and just relax girl! The baby will only come when it is ready to or if the doctor forces labor like a c section or induction!!
Reply:it must be driving you nuts but just give it time.
Reply:If the dr. feels they need to induce they will. Until then you need to relax!
Reply:I felt the same way when I was pregnant the dr kept saying oh any day now and you are so close and it took forever!!!!I had my membranes stripped on a Friday and then my daughter was born the following moday so you just never know. I jinxd my self though I kept wanting it to come and then when it did she came to fast I barly made it to the hosp dialated from 5cm to 10 in about 10-15 mins and she was born less than an hr from entering the hosp.you just never know I guess they come when they are ready !!Good Luck to you!!!Let me know how it goes!! (to keep from not going crazy is hard I know but just get a lot of rest make sure you have evrything that you need to take with you that kindof stuff, I went with nothing I didnt have time and that really sucked!!)
