40 + 2 and over it

I'm also 40+2. I'm just going with the flow. I was stressing about it. My annoyance is everyone asking did they schedule an induction? My next appointment is Friday at 4pm. I have a growth scan Thursday at 2:45. My oldest came at 40+5. I am surprised that being my 4th she's sticking out so long. I've just been trying to walk, dance, do exercises on the birthing ball.

FTM, 40+3 and yes all around. I’ve done everything to try to induce naturally- including acupuncture 3 times 🙃 I honestly am ignoring the texts 😂 some people get the message and just reach out to my mom instead but some are still texting me every other day… but for my sanity, I ignore them. Also if I have to go somewhere, I avoid any eye contact with anyone so strangers don’t feel welcome to comment on how pregnant I look😂 this hasn’t been my friendliest week I’m also feeling anxiety about if the baby is okay. Is that a normal feeling? I feel like I’m worrying all the timeee I think mentioning this at your appointment can help. Maybe they can do an extra test/check or something to give you some peace of mind. And counting kicks periodically?….

Ignore the texts/calls. You don’t owe a status report to everyone who asks. Same applies when in hospital and after baby arrives. You have more important things to do than act as your own pregnancy PR. You are also justified if you want to avoid people/situations that are likely to subject you to dumb comments. Doesn’t matter if the person has good intentions. Your pregnancy is none of their business.

I went to 40+5 and probably would have went a day longer if I wasn’t admitted due to an amniotic leak. Those last few days are soooo exhausting and anxiety inducing. Just know all of your feelings are so valid. It’s hard, but you got this. I know that’s cliche and over used, but you do. I hope baby comes soon and that you have a safe and healthy delivery ❤️
