Im 39+5 on number 4 and didnt think Id even make July but here Iam .
DC1 was on due date, DC2 was 36weeks and DC3 was 38 weeks. Plus as I have problems with the cord this time they said to prepare for an early arrival.
My bags ahve been at the door for a months. Still floating high too, obviously doesnt want to come out and enjoy the sun.

Thanks zipzap456 it should all be fine they said it would mean she'll be smaller nad early. The last scan indicated currently getting on for 10lb which is like all the others so I just hope as she's older she doesnt gain a stone from eating salad.
The consultant did say Im an anomoly and that they ahve no idea how she's getting so big - might be all the malteasers Im consuming.
I might go and jump on the kids trampoline...... Ill let you know if that works

DS4 arrived bang on his due date - 3 1/2 hours after the first sign of something happening (my waters went)...

Good luck!

well , im 38 and on my 4ht, after a 14yr break, and 5 miscarriages behind me, having a crap time, i have spd, gest diabeties,and now carrying to much water, counting down the days, my mw told me it could come early and quick, or could take ages, just like having dd1 because of the gap xx

I had my 4th 10 weeks ago, cannot say if he would have been late as I was induced. First time I have been induced, I requested it for SPD and previous fast labours, I wanted to know the date and have childcare sorted.

I think he was ready as I was induced at term, took one dose of gel and 3 hours later he was here, good labour apart from last 5 mins after they broke my waters but that was him crowning.

I reckon I would have been a few days late if left.
