40 weeks or more mamas?

Who in here is passed their due date?
How do yall feel and what are yall doing to stop thinking about being over due?
Im 40 weeks 1 day. Feel miserable but trying to just not think about it any more. Trying to look at it as more time with husband with just us two and more time to feel baby boy inside me, but its very hard to see it a posetive way.

Am technically 2 days off my due date but like everyone else, I've had enough now and just want her out. Braxton hicks is odd, my belly is almost constantly hard rather than it coming in waves so movement is seriously restricted most of the time and when it releases I get hoofed to blazes until it tenses again max a couple mins later!

Well no progress. Was still 2cm and not thinning. He hasnt been very active like he usually is so instead of a sweep im in the hospital being induced. Starting with the pill mctocin or whatever. They put it up there to help soften cervix. Hopefully I wont need the pictocin. Nervous and excited.  :)

41 today as well. Im thinking of the sweep today. I have an appointment.  My tummy is tiny yet he is still growing.  Its so uncomfy. Also his movements have slowed down so it freaks me out. I have a heart monitor (awesome) I listen when I havent felt him so I know he is ok. Inducuing was not in my plan. And a sweep is the next step before drugs. Ive tried walks sex spicy food pineapple.. ugh. Nothing but treamendous heartburn andnot being able to walk. Lol. Good luck ladies. :)

I'm 41 weeks today. I have an appointment today with my OB.  Hopefully she'll say that I'm finally effaced and dilulated some. I've felt cramping but nothing painful.  I feel her moving all the time:) I'm so anxious and on the fence about being induced or waiting till the 18th to be 42 weeks then. I really want her to come on her own. What do you ladies think?

I am one day overdue and had false labor that cost me 7 hours last night in L&D.  Contractions were running strong and then just stopped...they sent me home this morning tired, sore and disappointed that I am still without my son.  And I am super emotional and cranky.  We have come so far and it feels like we have so much left to go.  Will he ever get here??  At least I know if all else fails we are being induced on the 18th.  8 more days at most!!

I'm not over my due date. I still have exactly one week to go. But if i do go over, the thing that i've thought of is, i'll have him in my arms before March. Hope that helps! Sorry it's not anything too special.. but that's what'll keep me excited.

I'm 40 weeks and 4 days over due. I'm constantly exhausted and I just want to sleep all day. Not to mention I'm emotional and cranky. I just keep thinking I have more time with my hubby and we'll hold our baby girl soon. I've been cleaning and watching tv to keep my mind off of everything.

I'm 40 weeks & 2 days. I feel just as miserable. My body has gotten sore all over. My feet have swelled up even more & walking hurts now. At this point I just take it day by day. I keep myself busy. Trying to clean, wash & fold her clothes, etc just to keep myself occupied. It is hard to feel positive but see it as we won't be pregnant forever. They will come and when they do all the pain, backaches & stress will be forgotten :)
