41 weeks 😓
I'm now 41w + 1d and I'm losing my mind. This child seems to not want to come out. I'm 8 days overdue now and am getting anxious that this pregnancy will never end. I'm not super excited to get induced as I was hoping to go through all the parts of pregnancy and experience it all. It's my first pregnancy, first kid, I was 10 days late my partner was also a late one. I've read multiple things about this being normal, but I can't help but feel like an outcast when most women seem to have gone into labour week 37-39 and the ones that were in week 40-41 were induced..... My mom was supposed to come visit us 2 weeks postpartum partum but now she'll be coming just as the baby arrives which is not what I wanted. So the first week of my baby's life with us, will be with my mom.... I just feel defeated. I've had no bloody show, no leaking, no cramping really (maybe mild and only a few). All these stories of women experiencing labour makes me feel left out. I knowwwww this is not a big deal and that there's more to be grateful for etc etc, I'm just feeling blue.
Edit: thank you all so much for all your responses!!! I know theres not much anyone can do in these situations and I was honestly just looking for some validation of my feelings. I love this community and how helpful everyone is, cause no one can truly understand this experience and what Im feeling other than you. Thank you so much for helping me!
