Overdue and fed up!

Hi all, this is my 3rd baby (and last) and hes refusing to budge.. I'm 40 + 4 and tried every old wives tale going to try and start labour but nothing has worked.. Ive also had 2 sweeps from the midwife with no joy! I'm really fed up now not to mention tired!
I was 5 days late with my 2nd child and know this one will make an appearance in his own time but desperate to avoid being induced.
Just wondered if anyone else has experienced an awkward 3rd baby? Because all the midwives have said 3rd babies are commonly different!

The midwife told me it would be uncomfortable but it wasn't at all, in fact was surprised when she said she'd done it as I was still waiting for her to start, thought she was having trouble finding my cervix!

Oh that's reassuring then! Any sign of it working for you?
