Almost 2 weeks. Felt like forever at the time! Sorry, probably not what you wanted to hear. Hope he / she arrives soon

basicwitches · 08/12/2019 08:37

I get the feeling it'll be 2 weeksGrin i have a sweep booked for wednesday but not very hopeful on that either!

1 week exactly. Went for a 6 mile walk with DH, then had a burger and half a lager at the pub. Went in to labour a couple of hours later!

Single2catsand1daughter · 08/12/2019 08:39

9 long days. Hope your baby arrives soon.

Boymummy3 · 08/12/2019 08:40

1 day with my 2nd x

BendingSpoons · 08/12/2019 08:43

8 days with both DC.

snowflakeeel · 08/12/2019 08:47

7 days with first and 8 days with second. No sign at all that labour was coming. Water's broke then contractions started with both. Hope your wait isn't too much longer.

MrsL2016 · 08/12/2019 08:47

1 week over. Went into labour 40+6 and he came the next day. Didn't have a sweep until already in early labour.

chooseausername · 08/12/2019 08:49

11 days. My induction was booked for the following day!

NotYourHun · 08/12/2019 08:49

8 days. Which is bang on average for a first baby so not really overdue at all! But still felt like forever!

Newmumma83 · 08/12/2019 08:51

1 week exactly ... early signs plug coming away and period pains started when 2 days over due, how exciting not long now!!

Didn’t bother with a sweep was awaiting until I was 11 days over due before having as didn’t sound much fun when described.. saying that anything to get your little one here

basicwitches · 08/12/2019 08:56

Thank you everyone! Hoping she makes an arrival in the next week or so, i'm going crazy at homeGrin

12 days twice

thismeansnothing · 08/12/2019 09:02

17 days with my first. It was frustrating more cos I dont like waiting but wasn't uncomfortable or anything.

With my second she was a planned section but ended up having that moved forward and having her 5 days earlier than the planned surgery at 38+3

Whiskeylover45 · 08/12/2019 09:04

I went a week before I was induced. Five hours after popping my water and DS was here! Xx

DelurkingAJ · 08/12/2019 09:05

2 weeks with DS1 and 1 week with DS2. No show and my waters didn’t break either time but both were spontaneous labours.

Got ticked off gently for not being at my induction and had to point out that I’d been on their labour ward at the time (and had foolishly assumed they’d be told).

annlee3817 · 08/12/2019 09:06

Five days and no signs at all until day four

WhatsNextMrsLandingham · 08/12/2019 09:07

12 days with DD, and I was JUST. SO. FED. UP!!!! I was huge and had SPD so struggled to walk without crutches and could only get comfortable enough to sleep in the bath. Most mornings I'd run a bath about 3am and turn the light off (light pull is over the bath) and fall asleep, but because I was so big there was absolutely no danger of drowning as I filled the tub and the water didn't even cover my bump. Tried most things you're supposed to do to induce a baby, but she was eventually induced with both pessary and drip at T+12. Pregnancy is wonderful, but it does get to a stage where you just want to be able to move normally and sleep comfortably.

Autumntoowet · 08/12/2019 09:08

2 weeks last time
Now 3 days so far and counting
I hate every single day after 40 weeks

Moonstone12 · 08/12/2019 09:08

1 day with my 1st
10 days with my 2nd
16 days with my 3rd!!!

Hoping this one will be early but with my history I'll still be pregnant next Christmas 😂

JustMe9 · 08/12/2019 09:09

Labour started on due date; baby was born 1 day later x

badfurday · 08/12/2019 10:54

With my first I was 3 days over.
Currently 41 weeks today, induction booked for Tuesday.

anitagreen · 08/12/2019 12:34

My friend went to 43+6 as they got her dates wrong in the end she has an EMCS to get her out Shock

samks · 08/12/2019 12:39

2 weeks with my first. Currently 4 days overdue with my 2nd...has 2 sweeps, losing plug, period pains, stabby pains, am 2cm dilated, soft and short cervix and...nothing. Getting very frustrated! Hurry up all these babies.

TammyKat · 08/12/2019 12:40
