Your little one is part of you and beleive me once LO is here...you won't care a bit about anyone else.
And I had zero progress...no cramps and bam water broke so you really never can tell.

So sorry you're upset 
You're creating a new, close family!
No one in my family was around when DD was born. It was January and my whole family still lived on LI at the time and I'm out of state. My dad came when DD was 6 weeks old. My mom didn't even come visit until she was almost 12 weeks. My SIL did come to the hospital as did one friend, but that was it. I had my DH with me and we made this perfect brand new family of 3 and I honestly never felt like I missed out. I hope you feel that way too once your baby is here!
As far as getting things moving... I spent 2 hours on Tuesday night bouncing on a yoga ball and doing hula hoop spins -- 10 left and 10 right, then bounce for 2 minutes, repeat. I went into labor about 12 hours later. My due date was also a Friday, but DD was born the day before.  It can definitely still happen!!! Good luck to you!!!!

So my DD is Thurs and it looks like I am no where close to having this babes. I feel great sans the feet that feel and resemble bricks   . I'm perfectly comfy w/the idea of this babes coming when he/she is ready. I am also aware that I could go into labor at any min. The thing is, if I DONT have this babes by Friday, my father is going to miss it. He has a vacation planned w/a group of friends. Changing it was never an option, he just kept saying that the baby will come before he leaves. I'm not super close w/my dad and its not that HE wont be there that hurts. Its that I dont have any blood family besides him. I dont have a mom and my brother has passed. So I'm just feeling a little sad that there will be no one who is part of "me" there. Right here, right now I feel VERY alone and am just so confused as to why and how this has happened to "my" family?
I wont be alone, of course. I have DH, my BFF, my amazing SIL and then of course there are my IL's. I am trying to keep it in perspective, and know how I am going to feel is completely up to me. i can focus on the fact that certain ppl are not there or I can focus on the fact that our amazing babes just came into the world. I choose the latter but while I still get to be selfish, I think I just need to be sad about this.
Thanks for reading / listening....
Lots and lots of hugs
I completely understand what you are going through. I'm 36(and a 1/2!!!) weeks pregnant with my third. My mother recently moved to my state to "be closer to her grand kids". That's in quotes because I feel like I've been left high and dry. Just like I did nine years ago, but that's a different story! (I wish she never moved here). I'm due Aug 18th and she has been traveling and will be traveling through September, all for family weddings. ("oh, but i shouldnt worry because she will be available in October"-her words!!!) When I told her how hurt I was that she never thought not to go to a wedding Aug 25th and be here for the birth of her grandaughter, I thought she got it. I told her to go anyway since I was al ready hurt and obviously she doesn't want to be here (We shouldn't have to tell other people how to be there for us). Anyway our calendar says she wouldn't go if baby is born, but its just all show (she puts on a good one, so I feel guilty not her). She is currently bringing my grandmother back with her from her last trip (my grandma does need assistance of sorts, so I would feel bad asking for any help) and this also mean shell have to fly my grandmother to the wedding either way (baby here or not!) I'm hurt.
But you know the only thing that matters is that you and your husband get to enjoy this beautiful event. It's about your unit. And for me, I'm glad that I'm able to give something to my kids that my parents didn't, my attention. And, I hope that they'll never have to ask for me to care, but if they should I WILL give that to them.
It's ok to feel selfish and sad in this situation. And I do know that it won't matter when you're going through the birth of your child because you'll be blinded by all the love you just produced. Hang in there
