Just want to vent
39 weeks and 3 days with baby #2 and I'm just over it. My first was born at 40 weeks 6 days and I just know this baby will go past 40 weeks as well. I don't know why but, it's just a strong feeling I have. I honestly just don't want to be pregnant for another week+ but it's probably going to happen and that's why I'm so cranky right now.
People say the second comes sooner but that doesn't seem to be the case here.
I'm a VERY strong believer in the power of nature and know that babies come when they are ready but, I honestly just wish he would just make his way out already.
I try all the natural remedies to help induce labor naturally (walking, sex, curb walking, ball bouncing, spicy foods, nipple stimulation, and, miles circuit. Castro oil is dangerous so that is out of the question), none of it works. It didn't work with my first and isn't working now. I started drinking red raspberry leaf tea/ eating dates to help prepare for labor (as I know it doesn't induce labor) around 35 weeks. I honestly believe it's why I had such a great experience with my first labor.
I don't consider induction as it's not medically necessary. Again, no need to F with nature. Labor is already hard enough without pumping a bunch of synthetic meds to start things off. I also refuse cervical checks as those also mean nothing unless in active labor.
I'm just cranky/ impatient and want my baby in my arms! I want my first born to meet his little brother and start our journey as a family of 4. Hopefully we get to meet our little boy this weekend, at least on his due date!
