I'm beginning to think something is wrong

40+6 today. Endless, endless false labour and BH contractions for the last 3 weeks, but no 'show' or waters breaking. Is this baby EVER going to be born??

I'm worrying because every woman in my maternal family has given birth on time, and I am the only one who has gone so late.

My husband was 2 weeks late because he had a life-threatening illness at birth. There is also a 12 lb baby in my family ShockShock (dad's side) who was born late and had breathing problems for his whole life, and I really don't want that!

Can anyone reassure me that all will be well? Everything I have read suggests that most babies have been born by this point - what's wrong with me?

Try not to worry, I have 4 and NONE have been on time-ranging from 3 days to 11days 'over'. Try to relax. Good luck! Flowers
