41&1 weeks pregnant

Seeing those two pink lines scared me at first. Having two children already and only knowing my new partner for 7 months - the situation wasn’t ideal. if I’m being totally honest I thought about not keeping my baby. But I couldn’t go through with it. At the end of the day that is my baby and I have to protect and love him.

The weeks passed by and my due date seemed aaaaaages away. But all of a sudden it was here - the day I’d been waiting for, 5th January 2019!

Then my due date came and went. I am at point where I have tried pretty much everything to get my little bundle of joy to make his appearance. But so far nothing has worked. I’ve even been to the hospital for a sweep and nothing. Which is really frustrating as my other two children came before their due dates. One at 39 weeks, one at 39&4 weeks.

I started having regular painful contractions this time from 32 weeks, but since 40 weeks - nothing - he has measured 4 week in front the entire time and I lost my mucus plug at 36 weeks. I have been to the hospital twice this last week to be monitored and he’s happy enough in there. Just too happy by the looks of things.

I am actually willing myself to be in pain at this point. Just to be able to finally meet my little boy and to be able to get comfortable. I am 41&1 weeks pregnant measuring 45 weeks pregnant 😔
