Of everyone who has gone into labor already! Granted, I want my baby to bake longer, but I'm getting impatient! I keep having to remind myself I only have 2.5 more weeks (or less), but every day is dragging along!
I think we all understand at this point, and you've had more challenges than some of us Ashley!
I want my baby to bake as long as it needs to, but then I don't want to end up going to 41wks and having to have induction again like I did with my son, and plus am having cramps, contractions and heartburn which in the heat just feel 10 times worse. I am also BIG and low, and everyone comments that I look like I should be giving birth anytime - and am of course concerned about baby getting bigger. So I am a little impatient, and wishing that I'll go into natural labour at the best time for baby but before I hit 41wks.
Yep, being due in the latter half of August and having absolutely no signs of impending labor makes me a little envious. I also don't mind if Jackson wants to hang on to his due date or beyond. However, I'm just a little jealous of the women who are already holding their little ones in their arms. Just a few more weeks...
Me too! I'm trying not to rush it. I still have almost 5 weeks unless he comes early. I'm looking forward to my kids starting school Aug. 16 & having a little me time before baby comes. Still hard not to be anxious to be holding my baby.

Same here. This is my first one but at my doctor's appointment today my doctor told me that they are going to induce if I go beyond 41 weeks. I got kinda sad for some reason. I hope she comes on her own before then. But I'm not due until end of August so we shall see.
I know what you mean, even though I still have months...but I swear when you get down to them last few weeks I swear it drags..and seeing all these beautiful babies being born is just a teaser...but it will happen soon enough and you will be holding your sweet baby in your arms!

THIS!!!
I was really hoping that losing my plug would be a sign things would start happening. I know it's not always, but I had hope lol. Today was my 37 week check up and there's no progression what so ever! BOO!!!
ME!!!! I still have 5 weeks, but I want her here now. How horrible is that? I KNOW she HAS to bake longer. But I want to hold her and see my husband hold her. Ugh. I'm so impatient. I've be having contractions everyday, LOTS of pelvic pressure (I think she just might fall out of my vagina) and ppl keep telling me I've dropped. All great signs that my body is getting ready. I got for a NST on Tuesday and we'll see what the dr says.
Ashley, I want to bite your head off for only being 35 weeks and having less time left than I do, lol. But I totally understand. I had another appointment today and my bp is fine again, so he said "so, you're 37.5 weeks, huh? almost there!" and I was so happy to agree, then he said "so, lets plan on inducing around, ehhh *pokes around at calendar*, August 21st? That gives you about 4 more weeks" and I seriously almost burst into tears at the thought of going 4 more weeks when I was finally feeling so close to the finish line. I'm sick of being fat, I'm sick of hairy legs, I'm sick of being worthless, I'm sick of being sick of pregnancy. I don't care how selfish that makes me. I know there's always a chance she'll come on her own, but I just know she won't. Gut feeling, I guess. So here I am, trying to embrace August 21st as my new due date and accept I have 4 more miserable weeks to go. Shoot me.
End rant. Moral of the story is I completely understand how you feel about envying those going early... like yourself.

Oh man, I feel for you! Hopefully, she will decide to come soon for you!!!

This makes no sense to me. What do you mean there is a chance she'll come on her own? Of course she'll come on her own. Probably before that date. No need to tamper with nature. And no need to set an induction date.
It's definitely hard being due towards the end of the month. I am due the 28th, but will have a c-section on the 24th, so 4 weeks from tomorrow. People tell me it's so close, but 4 weeks still feels like an eternity away!
