Approaching 40 weeks

No one mentioned how lonely, anxious, fustrated it can be when approaching EDD and seeing other mums pop one by one but I still don't have labour symptoms. It really doesn't help when people keep checking in to see if you've delivered and my own husband keep asking me everyday if I'm feeling any labour symptoms. Other mums are already discussing about breastfeeding but I'm still so lonely in the wait.. I know I should be thankful that baby is still healthy and I've more time to myself but at this point, the wait is getting so depressing.. Wondering if any Sep mums are still baking at 39/40 weeks and feeling the same? :(

Hi mummies, I can understand, you are not alone. Just to share my experience, Monday I went for check up on 39weeks 6 days, no dilation was observed. I have mild contractions on and off. Hence, gynae advised me to induce when baby reaches 40 weeks. I did the nipple stimulation at home, the contractions did increased. I was hoping the cervix to be dilated, but it was not, sto after discussed with my husband, we decided to go ahead with the induce labour, I was induced and delivered yesterday at 40+1 day. Everything went well. Baby was out yesterday after 16 hours. Jia you all mummies! Best wishes to all of you.
