40+1 and so done

Exhausted is an understatement. I’m a first time mom and fully expected to go over term but I did NOT expect to be up all night with prodromal labor every single night for weeks. It’s crazy how painful it is and nothing. I’m not even ONE centimeter dilated. I had the option to be induced but with my placenta being perfect and baby perfectly content—why would I? I’m not evicting him just because I’m impatient, haha.

I know I’m in the home stretch and grateful because I’ve hated every waking moment of pregnancy and very happy I was even able to get pregnant and stay pregnant, but I definitely understand the “get this baby out of me” feeling I’ve heard so much about.

Oh my god and the worst part? The people. “When are you due? Isn’t baby supposed to be here by now??” Fucking yes dude he IS supposed to be here by now but he isn’t. I will tell you the second he arrives I promise just please stop asking. I’ve stopped responding altogether because I’ve gotten those messages since 38 weeks on the dot. My MIL in specific texts me daily and I know it’s not to check up on me. Just to check on her unborn grandson.

Anyway, if anyone else is going through this I’m sorry, it is absolutely the worst.
