40 + 1 today and feeling like it'll never happen!

[Mrsbirchall]

I'm sure I'm not the first here but am feeling quite low about the fact I'm now overdue. I always knew the chances were high for baby no.1 (or everyone bloomin harped on about first baby being late!) but just feel more anxious it's not going to happen by itself :(

Midwife says I'm pretty low engaged but, this sounds daft, friends keep commenting on how well I'm coping and I don't feel massively uncomfy - should I be worried how mobile I'm still feeling? I haven't had any Braxton Hicks and am still out and about daily and tried all the old wives tales..I'm not 'waddling' as people say they do when the babies are low..

I have a big fear of being induced and just feel like baby doesn't want to come out if his own accord :( Anyone else in the same boat
to offer any comforting words?!...

Hi, i'm 39+5 today with pfb, I know how you feel, I have had a pretty easy pregnancy and am now getting anxious that i'll go 2 weeks overdue and need an induction! I feel scared of induction too.

I don't feel like labour is imminent at all!! I do have a bit of a waddle and baby is obviously low as feeling sharp sudden stabby pains down below but I don't think either of those things means labour is minutes away!

My only pearls of wisdom are to keep yourself busy, or example tomorrow my DP is taking a half day from work and we are going out for a nice lunch and trip to the cinema, today i'm meeting some women from my antenatal class for cake.......treat yourself!!

you have 2 weeks max to go, it will be soon I promise!
