Overdue

Just needed a little frustrated rant about being overdue. I’m 40 + 3 and not had any signs she’s coming. So frustrated but trying so hard to relax and go with the flow in hope to release more oxytocin.

Doing all the things they say to do and no joy! I know in the grand scheme of things 3 days over is nothing but it’s still so frustrating.

How is everyone who’s over due managing?

I watched a hypnobirthing video that said it should really be a due from rather than due by date because most babies actually come after their due date and especially first ones. I'm due Monday. Trying to remind myself of that but it's definitely trying. Due date puts such pressure as actually anything from 37 to 42 is normal. Should be a due window not an exact date..hang in there and enjoy precious few days to yourself. X

I feel you💗 not going to lie the more days that pass the harder it’s getting, I’m 9 days overdue basically now 10 and nothing happening apart from gradually losing my mucus plug in the last two days. I’ve been out for lunch a couple of times and just generally keeping on top of cleaning etc at home and going for walks, taking daily baths to relax too x

I had zero signs until 41+1 (first time mom) and my baby was born the next day.. everything can happen pretty quickly when both your body and your baby are ready x

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??
