Anyone else 40+ weeks?

I'm feeling so fed up with messages asking if baby is here yet! Just as fed up as I am of waiting. Especially cause I had my first at 36+5 spontaneously and always thought I would not get to this gestation. Trying so hard to relax and lean into being patient but I'm finding it quite challenging at the moment. Any tips to stay calm😭😅?

Gosh I could have written this myself! My waters broke 35+6 with my first and I’m 40+1 today. No baby! Feeling fed up and annoyed with people messaging 🤣. Only advice I can think of is to distract yourself as much as possible (easier said than done!) xx

I’m 41+3, reckon I’ve been in early labour for about 10 days now. I am done, so done and so so ready. It is draining

I'm 41+1 and think I've been in early labour since Thursday. That sounds horrible how are you coping! I have barely slept the last 3 nights and not at all last night really wondering how I can keep going

Sameeeee. Trying to relax and be patient but it is hard.

40+5 today and very much over the cramps and pain which seems to be leading nowhere!

First time for me and I'm currently 40 + 4 today. Sick of people asking me if baby is here yet and generally just so over being pregnant now! Really want this baby to come out 😭

It's so draining isn't it ladies...Really hope we can all hold our babies in our arms super soon!! 💛

Also fed up of people suggesting things to me to help it along! If I see the words curry/spicy food, walking, pineapple, sex, kerb walking any more then I might explode 🙈

yesss - the unsolicited advice is the worst 😭

I know right 😅!

I feel you! I had my first spontaneously at 37 weeks and here I am at 39+2 still pregnant 😆 I had a sweep yesterday and have been cramping and losing a lot of my plug since so I’m hoping I don’t get to due date!

I feel this. Like we haven’t been googling absolutely everything ourselves already

I am 41+6. I’m 2cm and my cervix is completely soft. I really don’t want any intervention so I know that I’ll be waiting probably another week but it’s the biggest mental challenge I’ve ever been faced with!

Avatar

Yes totally feel this 40+1 my dates or 40+4 nhs and I’m so done. So teary, tired, back achy, snappy and getting the random cramps but nothing coming of it. It’s so tough to hang in there. Had my first 39+6 so was also hoping baby would be here by now 🤪

It’s been sooo reassuring seeing all the other comments! Glad we’re all in the same boat. It won’t be long until babies decide to make their grand entrance xx

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?

Sneak Peek Test

I did the sneak peek test at 15 weeks pregnant, and the results just came back girl! Has anyone ever taken the test, gotten girl, and it been wrong?
