4 days overdue and over it (not a question just venting)

[moshmayden]

So I was due on the 19th and am nearing the end of my 4th day being overdue.
I woke up this morning full of energy.
I' packed away 2 loads of washing, done another 2 loads of washing, did a load of dishes, picked up the dog poo, weeded and trimmed back the hedges in my front garden, trimmed the trees out the back, emptied the bins and walked for 1/2 hour, while caring for an almost 3year old all before 12pm.

Then around 3.30pm it all started hitting me. I started getting crampy back ache, nausea, random crying attacks and feeling super tired.

Normally a drastic change would get me thinking yay maybe this means it's gonna happen soon? But it's happened to be too many times now it's just annoying and being uncomfortable is making me super irritable.

If labour doesn't happen before Monday by dr wants to book me in for csection on Tuesday (my first was a csection) which means I have to say goodbye to the vbac I do badly wanted.

I've been told I can push the surgery back to give me a bigger window of opportunity to go into labour but by then I'll be 9 days overdue and already I feel line calling my dr and begging him to cut my daughter out so it can finally be over.

Just an update - went into labour around 4pm on 26.10.14. At 1.30am had only progressed to 3cms and the head was still high. Due to my history with the last birth I decided I didn't want to continue to try for a natural birth. Contractions had been come hard and fast every 2 minutes or less for 10 hrs and to have progressed so little. Had csection at 2.35am 27.10.14.
Healthy baby Amelia Rosalie 52cms 3.960 kgs.
Thanks for being there during this pregnancy ladies. Hope all goes well for the rest of you

I feel your pain! Being overdue is torture!  One day feels like a week! Hang in there!

If you really want a vbac, just hang in there. Everyone is different and you just might be the type that has a long pregnancy. A c-section is always there if you decide. Just think about what you want to do and adjust your plan around that. Good luck!
