Overdue

For as many years as I have worked in labor and delivery and heard women complain about being overdue (I am only about a day overdue). I never really understood how they felt. You get attached to a day (in my case, the 21st, cited as the most likely day for referrals to arrive by the rumor sites) and when that day comes and goes, it is a real let-down. People call/email asking if you have "delivered" yet and I have to answer by saying, "we are still waiting" and "maybe tomorrow." I just hope the delivery comes by Thursday so we get a call this week. If they arrive on Friday, we have to wait the weekend to get "the call." Here's hoping for tomorrow!

  1. Ughhh. Is it time to push yet? Can I have an epidural? Or how about a nice adult beverage?
