I'm due today & feeling emotional, depressed, frustrated and bored... feels like she will never come.?

Can anyone make me feel better?

I have been hanging about with nothing much on the schedule waiting for her to come for 3 weeks now and today is the due date and still no action. I feel like she will never come. I feel really emotional and keep crying today. I am very frustrated. I have been trying to keep busy but its hard to pretend you are not desperately waiting for something when you are. I lost my mucus plug 4 days ago and at last check up 6 days ago i was at 2cm so something is happening but the waiting is torture.

Please don't tell me to relax and try and enjoy my last time without her. I am going insane with 3 weeks of trying to do that. I have tried everything - walking, dancing, sex, chili, hot baths, pineapple... you name it. I have tried psyching myself up and visualising my body starting labour.

I guess i want someone to tell me that there is no reason that in 10 minutes time labour will start even though i don't feel like it will. Give me some hope, even if it doesn't happen that way. I feel so miserable today. I don't know what to do with myself any longer.

Thanks for listening.

    There is an odd property of time that the last few weeks of pregnancy stretch out into seeming like months. Waiting is always hard, and especially I think with pregnancy, when you are big and generally less than comfortable and just want the whole thing to be done with, and of course you want to meet your little person. I can only tell you that your baby sends that signal - so if she is not joining you yet it is because she is fine tuning a few things and getting ready. You can very well go into labor tonight - there is no telling. I gave birth to both of mine the day after my due date. It is a bit maddening, because it is one of the things in life you absolutely can't control. It is the first lesson of parenting I found. Try to hang in there. Your little gal is just getting good and ready, and she will be coming along soon. Good luck, and have a happy birth.

    well, i can't tell yu whats goin to happen but i guess i can share my story withyu to make yu feel better and to take some bordem away for a bit. with my daughter also i kicked and scream the last days before i was due cause i wanted her outt!! i coudnt put on my boots properly, my skin was iritaded. anyways. EVERYTHIN PISSED ME OFF!. and i was just countin down the days, hours and minutes for her to come out. i don't know if this is your first but my daughter was my first and i think the fact that yu dont have much to do or take care of an other little one makes things seem even longer with so much time on your hands. this will not last for everand no more than a week!!! yu will have your baby girl forever, and TRUST ME , nights will be long and with no sleep for at least another 6 months, then again every baby is different, daughter was doin her nghts at 8weeks :). LUCKY ME RIGHT! loll well just to let yu know im 38 weeks with my second (a boy) and i actually dont mind him bakin i there for alittle longer because i KNOW that once they're out , they wont go back in lolll. and trust me yu love them to death.. yu're children are your world, butt THEY ARE A HUGEEEEEE responsibility and will changeyour life cmpletely. yes for the better, but they're not easy! girl, rest , take a warm bath, do your nails, your eye brows, relax, and enjoy the little bit of time yu have left.. CONGRADS!! andi wish yu great delivery!

    Sweetheart in ten minutes labor will start :) Did it make you feel any better? :D Why dont you go in the nursery and make sure everything is the way you want it and make sure you have everything in the away bag for labor. You might be forgetting something. Or you can go around yahoo answers and answer questions about pregnancy, thatll waste a good couple hours :) And hey maybe the baby will decide to come in the next few hours atleast... Good luck though and Congratulations on the soon to be bundle of joy :)
