Question Posted Wednesday December 29 2004, 12:05 am
Okay I am 40 weeks pregnant. I was due xmas day. I still have not given birth! What could be taking so long? I am becoming so miserable, uncomfortable and irritated, not to mention impatient. Please if someone has any suggestions please help!
Made4Monkeez answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 12:46 pm: Well sometimes that happens. I myself was 1 and a half weeks late. Some times it happens and the baby should be coming aby day now. Just wait and talk to your doctor [ Made4Monkeez's advice column | Ask Made4Monkeez A Question ]

I've never been pregant because I'm only 13 years old.But I know what you mean because when I was born I was 2 weeks late.So maybe it's in God's plan to have your baby boy/girl a few weeks late.Hoped that helped! And Congradulations to having a baby!
Good Luck,

amelia12290 answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 11:34 am: i was 2 weeks late myself so dont worry about it nothings wrong but try to get some exercise because that can help induce labor good luck with your baby. [ amelia12290's advice column | Ask amelia12290 A Question ]
hailebop answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 9:52 am: Due dates are estimates, and can sometimes be off. I was born two weeks before I was supposedly due, but was the same size as a 40 week baby, so they concluded they must have got the dates slightly mixed up.
Certain things can help induce labour - spicy food, mild exercise and sex, but it may well be a few more days. The last few days of pregnancy are notoriously uncomfortable and difficult, and it is frustrating to feel that you've done your time and you just want the baby out of you, but if a natural birth is possible, it's best to just wait for nature to take its course rather than being induced by a doctor, as this can be stressful on the baby. Do talk to your doctor though if your worried, as they will have all the information about what is the best course of action for your individual circumstances.

sarah0308 answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 1:52 am: shouldnt you have already gone to the hospital? i think so. cant they give you an emergeny c-section? or is that only to have your baby before the due date? sorry i couldn't be of that much help, maybe not even any help at all.

xluvinux answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 12:33 am: It hasn't been awhile since Christmas. The due date isn't necessarily when you're going to have your baby. Just keep seeing the doctor until you give birth to see if everything is normal. =)
PinkLady4863 answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 12:13 am: this is completely normal. the "expected date" is more of a guide line, not an exact date. it has not been that long, so relax, you child will come soon. if you are stressed or anxious your baby can sense it and it may cause mental problems. my advice, sit down and calm down, this is normal.
good luck ! [ PinkLady4863's advice column | Ask PinkLady4863 A Question ]
blondiebabii answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 12:13 am: Congrats ! But um if your pregnant? Can I ask how old you are? (Not to be a bitch) Because if your over 20 and pregnant what are you doing on here? and if your a teen under 18 and pregnant .. Hmm why are you ? oh also either way ...

lorelei answered Wednesday December 29 2004, 12:11 am: I was born two weeks after I was due. So was my best friend. I'm not 100% sure why I took so long. I guess I just wasn't ready to come out. The due date, really, is only an estimate. So don't be to worried about being a little late.
You could always try talking to your doctor about inducing labor.
