How overdue were you?

[basicwitches]

Just that really, today is my due date but absolutely no sign she is anywhere near... so, how overdue did you go?!

40+12. I was induced on day 12 and had him on day 13 and he still was reluctant to come out...nearly 7 yrs later hes still a bit on the lazy side

16 days, 14 days, 9 days and 12 days late. The last was the worst because I thought they were gradually getting earlier but he just refused to budge.

6 days

17 days.

Both mine were born at 40+6 x

Im now 38+1 with #3 wonder if she will be born at 40+6 too lol x

Just over 2 weeks late, but I never agreed with my due date unless I was shagging in hospital so I dug my heels in over induction & she arrived a couple of days after we expected her to arrive

I was 41 weeks and 5 days when I delivered. I beat the induction by 24 hours which I was very happy about, and had 3 sweeps

No signs etc means nothing OP. I was 5 days overdue, went for a sweep feeling fab and no signs or anything and discovered actually, I was 4cm dilated! Hour later when I’d arrived at the hosp I was 6cm... still no signs! No plug, no waters, no pain. I was in shock, not how I expected it to be at all but guess what I’m saying is, baby will come when ready, signs or no signs :)

2 weeks! Went into labour the day before my induction, but had completely given up hope of going into labour naturally as I had no pre-signs or build up at all really. Had a 3rd sweep and went for a ridiculously long walk including plenty of hilly bits at my midwifes advice the night before, followed by a hot curry and sex! No idea whether any of that actually did the trick or not though! It was another 32 hours then before she arrived however thanks to a very drawn out back to back labour.

Best thing I did to fill the time waiting for her arrival was full the freezer to bursting with batch cooked meals!

Hope you don’t have too long to wait OP!

With my first I was 9 overdue when I went into labour and 10 days overdue when I had my daughter after a 30 hour labour.

I was induced at 15 days over. The umbilical cord had started to degrade and nails were so long! I took two DC aged 4 and 16mths swimming the day before!

2 weeks, then got induced. She was born 30mins after i was put on the drip, so she was definitely ready!

Bit of an update, went for a sweep today but cervix 'high and closed' so induction booked for on the 20th!

@basicwitches I’m booked for induction the day before you, have another sweep on Monday though but not hopeful

Ended up having her a week overdue on sunday! 36 hours in labour, never again

Labour started at 42+4, no problems and a really straight forward birth

Congratulations @basicwitches!

Sounds similar to my experience 34 hours of back to back labour! Still, you do eventually blank it out apparently as I’m now excepting DC2
