Woke up this morning and STILL pregnant!! Does this baby EVER come out??

I am doing acupunture, evening primrose oil 'up there', raspberry tea leaves, long walks, and some spray from my midwife under my tongue. Oh, and lots of orgams... Will I be pregnant FOREVER.. cause I already thought I was... I hate that 'oh the baby will come when he's ready!!!'.... that is SO patronizing and not validating AT all. Not really a question... just frustrated.

Woke up this morning and STILL pregnant!! Does this baby EVER come out??
Aw sorry! I am sure he will come out anyday now you just have to wait, when he comes out it will all be worth it though you will be so happy when hes in your arms. So dont stress out take a nice bath, relax, sleep a lot and try not to think about it and it will happen. Good luck!
Reply:Castor oil. Two tablespoons mixed in a drink. It will put u in labor.

You can find it at your local pharmacy in the laxative aisle or shelf

Good Luck

It also gives u diarrhea!!!
Reply:OHFORGODSAKE stop whining. There is a miracle happening in your body at this very moment and all you can think of is how "tired of it" you are and how "uncomfortable" you are... gee, you must be the first woman to go through that. Women have been having babies since 'forever' and you know what? Gestational maturity for humans is forty weeks. There's no crash course, or getting out early with good behavior. When the baby is done developing, hormone changes start the labor process. It isn't rocket science. But it is miraculous. To try to push nature begs for trouble. Try to find it in yourself to trust your body, to relax, and to honor what is happening inside you instead of hating it. Focus on your baby, talk to your baby, be kind to yourself, pamper yourself-you do deserve it. We can't always know the "when's" of life, and pregnancy is no exception. Your midwife will not let you go too far past your due date. There WILL be an end. I wish you all the best, I really do.
Reply:You didn't say if you were overdue. Talk to your doctor about inducing, if it's appropriate. Do you have a doctor as well as a midwife?



Good luck. I know how uncomfortable it is - I had two kids - but when the baby is delivered, your anguish will be over and the love for this child will begin.
Reply:Have you had your membranes stripped? I had my membranes stripped and then went into labor that night. It is a procedure your dr can do. It is a little painful, but so worth it to get your baby to come. I cant tell you exactly how it works because honestly I dont know. Look into it though it worked for me.
Reply:Welcome to the club. Most mothers go through this. My first baby was 10 days late... those were 10 long days!
Reply:i bought raseberry tea organic from kroger and boiled about 9 bags per cup and it was nasty. i did it 2 times and the contractions came. but be aware when they come they hurt like hell and mine were irregular and when you go into labor your uterus may over react. it worked for me but i would not do it again. i know it is imposible not to think about it but when you least expect it the baby is start comming. good luck
Reply:TRUST ME!!!!!!!! you want to keep it in there as long as it will stay in there. You still get to hold it, feel it and bond with it, yet you can still go through the grocery store without hearing a screaming baby. You can take a shower and use the bathroom in one piece, and ain't naps wonderful?
Reply:Try a hot spicy meal like curry,it worked for my wife.
Reply:It might be frustrating but it is the truth, the baby will come when he or she is ready to be born and that is that.



Stop, Stop, STOP doing things to rush it along, all you can accomplish is hurting your baby, not getting them born one second before time. If something goes wrong you will never forgive yourself for having taken those things so stop it now and learn some patience you will need a whole lot of that to be a good mother. Perhaps that is what God and the baby are waiting for you to learn.



Look at it this way you get a few more days to be indulged and to rest and sleep. Enjoy it now becaue that all ends once the baby is born. Put your feet up and have some ice cream, relax and savor the silence it all ends when with that first cry.
Reply:You are so ready. i remember being that miserable
Reply:The truth is always patronizing.



You have my sympathy. I know how tough it is especially when it's hot and you are miserable. I'm not pregnant, but currently have hip pain and you just can't escape it! If you can afford it, how about treating yourself to a massage? Won't get the baby out, but your muscles will likely feel better. Alternatively, take a long soaking bath with some nice music playing.
Reply:I'm sorry. That was harsh. I've decided to re-write my answer to sound much more sympathetic.

But, still you need to be careful. You don't know how pregnant you are. Your due date is an estimate...and you don't want to risk the babies well being just because you feel gigantic, uncomfortable, irritable, tired, achy...

I'm sorry that you are feeling those things, but you must wait for the little one to come on his own time.
Reply:I was told so many things about helping to go into labour none worked for me i went 1 month over with my first and 3 1/2 weeks over with my second. Next time you go to the doctor ask if they can brake your water. Or ask if you can get induced.
Reply:AHHHHHH i dread the day, for me its coming in a few months. now pregnancy is all roses but i know, just wait.....i know theres nothing i can say to make that sucker pop, but within the week, youll be listening to a SCREAMING hungry baby every three hours, ENJOY THE SILENCE! congrats, and good luck
Reply:you can go all the way to full term and 2 weeks after due date before you expect to have the baby
Reply:Look on the bright side: you can still sleep all night right now! When that baby gets here (as thrilled as you will be), you won't be sleeping much for quite awhile. Good luck!
Reply:Go back to sleep, and see what happens tomorrow. (Not really an answer, but I do sympathize).
Reply:How far along are you?



That is just an ESTIMATED gestation. I.E. : If youre 40 weeks, you could really be 38.



Talk to your doc about inducing.
Reply:Oh HUGS I know what you are going through. I know you are miserable and all but have you tried sex? I was 6 days overdue and my DH and I had sex because we were desperate and heard that might work lol. Low and behold 2 hours later I started having contractions. :)
