40+3 days pregnant and beginning to lose hope . did you give birth naturally after going over due?

[mrsjoker35]

So i had a sweep Monday. But i was told baby wasn't low enough and i wasn't dilated but cervix was soft... Second sweep next week. If nothing happens ,induced on the 11th.
I'm starting to lose hope, baby just doesnt seem to want to come out, and im beginning to ask myself if I'll ever go into labor myself. And i really wanted to do it all myself, im so emotional... I keep thinking my body is failing me
I've not been this emotional since i was 15 weeks! I keep lashing out at people and crying , then i eat. Im aware of postnatal depression and i really dont want that either and thats making me even more emotional, i just want my baby, absolutely terrified of the possibly needing a c section.. And i keep thinking if that happens I'll become depressed . everything is piling up

Comforting words and experience's would be really helpful and appreciated

I stood up there, and i suddenly got a big pain from my hip right down, diagonally
It was enough for me to stop moving and go "aaugh!!"
I was secretly waiting to feel a gush of water lol but i didn't

Grrrr come on baby!!!!!

Waters have broke!!!! Yay something significant :)
Ive to go into be assessed by the midwives at half 8.

Ah, good luck
This time 6 years ago, I was in early labour with DC1, he was 14 days overdue by the time he was born!
Fingers crossed for a fast, safe and comfortable labour for you!

Great news! Best of luck OP. I was beginning to lose hope with you there

Ah, good luck!

I was 40+9 with dc1 - days of latent labour followed by a fairly quick active labour

I was 40+3 with dc2 when waters went. No contractions for a while and them a swift delivery at 40+4.

I was 40+16 with dd but had to be induced and she still refused to budge.
40+13 with ds1 and 40+9 with ds2. I keep thinking how nice it would be to have this one before 41 weeks!
Sounds like things are moving on for you though. Good luck this morning, I hope this is it for you

yippeeee!!!!!

Good luck. The end is in sight now!
