I'm 41 + 4 today by my dates and 42 + 1 by my scan dates. I had a MW appt this morning and I'm measuring 43 weeks...I have tended to measure at least a week ahead with all my pregnancies though.
I was really really sure about my dates...it would tie in with ovulating on day 17 as per usual, and I also got my first v v v faint positive test at 11 dpo (I had been testing for several days before that as I'm a pee-stick addict). However, I'm beginning to doubt myself, for no reason really...I'm just worried about the off chance that I'm wrong and had an unusually early ovulation and a relatively late positive test.
The MW says my cervix is "mid-posterior", closed and soft. Also the baby is somewhat back to back (his back is to my right and back, I can feel limbs to the front left).
My previous DCs were both 8 days late.
The MW has booked me in for placental scan tomorrow (based on the fact that I'm 42+ by scan dates).
I just don't know what to do...I know they're going to start advising an induction v soon, and I really don't want it. On the other hand I'm terrified of putting the baby at increased risk.
Has anyone else been "diagnosed" with an unfavourable cervix and gone into labour shortly after?
Or how about stories about "nice" inductions?
Thanks
