I really hate the concept of the due date. It's an artificial construct that has nothing to do with whether the baby is ready to be born or not. Nature doesn't work on specific timetables like humans like to. Oh well. I'd recommend, first, not inducing unless it's for a medical reason, because it's going to make labor harder and increase your risk of developing complications and being injured. As for coping, I'd recommend turning off the phone, putting away the clock and calendar, and taking a vacation. Pamper yourself, and relax. This is the time to do it, you're not going to get another chance to really just focus on yourself exclusively, for a long time!

Take a breath and be objective. You are not special in the sense that no other woman has ever suffered through this. And, its ONLY a week out of the rest of your entire life. Thats like nothing.
I know how you feel though.
Go swimming. The BEST thing you can do is stimulate your nipples all the time. Whenever you can just rub away at those things, it causes contractions and can help you avoid induction.

Just try to do things that keep your mind off your discomfort- I know it's hard, but it can be done. Make sure you have everything for the baby's room ready, go for long walks (not alone), read, play games on the computer, rent some good DVD's, whatever- just keep your mind engaged. Most importantly- think about how happy you will be when you hold your baby for the first time. Good Luck, honey.

The best thing is to keep youe eye on the goal. It is okay for the baby to "Cook" a little longer. Just think this is a little longer for the baby to mature and get stronger before the baby is born. Like I said just keep telling yourself that the baby need to bring strong and keep your eye on the goal. Good luck hun!

I know this will be hard, but enjoy the last few days or so that you have to yourself. Once that baby comes, you will be busy and you will wish he or she was in your belly a little longer. Trust me.

i be responsive to the way you sense. i grew to become into 2 days late with my daughter. i grew to become into hoping to purely bypass to 38 weeks, yet whilst my due date have been given right here i grew to become into so pissed off and worried. It grew to become into almost the third day of being late as quickly as I went into labor, finally. I went the full 40 weeks and a pair of days. yet I wasnt as late as you. I instructed my ob/gyn that one extra day and he or she extra helpful bring about me, because of the fact I certainly have a 2 day previous toddler interior me. So on the 2nd day she ruptured my membranes, then that night I went into labor. yet specific, i grew to become into so completed with being pregnant. that is relaxing whilst the toddler is transferring, yet whilst she wedges her little foot on your ribs that is not relaxing anymore. 5 years later, July 18, 2008 I had twin boys who're 8 months previous now. That one grew to become into exciting, I had a kidney an infection at 20 weeks and had to spend 4 days in the medical institution, I went into preterm labor at 29 weeks, had to be bedridden in the medical institution for 18 days. Then had to have an emergency c-section at 35 weeks because of the fact of toxemia. needless to say each and every thing grew to become into nice, one grew to become into born 6lbs 7oz, and the different grew to become into 6lbs 4oz. i grew to become right into a frickin blimp. yet you need to objective organic inducing techniques, like a great number of walking, or fairly spiced meals, or using in a vehicle occurring the baja one thousand. Or having intercourse. yet I wasnt into that being 40 weeks pregnant, sleep grew to become into my intercourse being that pregnant. sturdy success, and that i desire each and every thing works out extremely quickly.
