Day after my due date and I've had enough

Been really trying to stay optimistic this pregnancy as my first was an induction at 40+3 which led to emergency section so this time I've declined all induction/suggestions and I'm waiting hopefully for spontaneous labour.
I know obviously babys don't arrive on their due date often but he's measuring big and walking is ridiculous, I'm massive and the pelvic pain is intense. I've had one full day of light contractions two days ago then nothing since and I think it just got my hopes up and now I'm really deflated mentally about the whole thing.

I also have gestational diabetes and an appointment/ growth scan Wednesday when I'm 40+4 and I know they're just going to continue to push for interventions I don't want and mentally I'm exhausted with it all

No advice, but I feel your frustration. My last pregnancy ended in an emergency c-section after going into spontaneous labor at 38+6.

With my due date tomorrow I’m feeling the time pressure before my hand is going to be forced to have an induction or elective section. Plus I am also just done with feeling so massive!

Here’s to speedy baby dust for us both 😊

When did you start showing with baby #2?

I started showing around 14-18 weeks with my first baby, depending on what I was wearing. Curious when others started showing 🤰

High blood pressure

Is anyone being monitored for this? My first pregnancy I ended up in antenatal at 39 weeks to monitor BP and was medicated after birth.

My BP has been spot on all this pregnancy until around 33 weeks when its suddenly raised. I've got to be monitored weekly at the day assessment unit but its not high enough to warrant medication.

To give an idea, ive gone from around 120/80 to an average of about 135/95.

Just wondering if anyone is in the same boat.

Just a mommy thing

I never realized how emotional I was going to get watching my baby in the first few days! How can tbis be happening so fast already! I love her so much and sometimes all I can do is cry about it. Dangit post partum hormones haha Anyway just throwing this out there because it's a big feeling and I needed to!

If you have more than one, how did you know you were done having kids?

I’m currently pregnant with my 2nd, due in 2 months and I always thought I was happy with 2 up until this week. Now the idea of this baby being our last and my last pregnancy, makes me so sad! My husband is due to get a vasectomy done in a few weeks and I don’t know how I feel about it, even though it was my idea 🫠 I texted him saying I don’t think this will be our last baby and he texted back saying why are you saying this? šŸ˜‚

Third trimester anxiety

I just got into the third trimester and my anxiety has been climbing. I’m sure it’s all the things, birth/labor, having a newborn, bodily changes. Etc. was wondering if anyone else felt this change after having a pretty peaceful 2nd tri? Sometimes it’s not even my thoughts that are getting me it’s just an anxious feeling in my body. Can anyone else relate?
