I'm 40+5 now with dc4. I've got severe spd so sweeps were started early and I have my 3rd and final one tomorrow, then booked for an induction on Friday. Gutted tbh. I was planning a home birth as I don't have good experiences with the hospital.

Anyone else overdue?

I'm overdue, 41 + 1 today, no induction booked though, am very lucky to be well and not too uncomfortable. Seeing MW tomorrow so that may change. I'm planning a homebirth too although it seems a much more distant possibility now.

I hope baby may arrive after sweep tomorrow for you and then maybe you'll still get HB?

I'm 40+6 but not uncomfortable. Seeing midwife 2moro who'll book an induction for 41+5 but i don't have to have it then. I'll hold out till at least 42 weeks if all is well with baby and me

Yes, 40+4 with DC4 as well. Had a sweep at 39+3 and was 2cm dilated but cervix unfavourable. I am booked for an induction tomorrow. I wasn't uncomfortable until this last week but am now getting more uncomfortable each day. Where I am they won't let you go past 40+10 and given that is over New Years weekend, I would rather just go ahead with the induction.

Hope some of these other babies come soon.

Fresh - good luck for tomorrow! Hope it all goes v smoothly.

My sweeps have been good. Cervix is thin and stretchy and she could get right in, could even feel baby's head. So after two its quite annoying that I haven't started, especially as head has been engaged since 38 weeks!

Will have another clary sage bath after 'enders.
