41 weeks and counting.... tips on how not to loose the plot!

[Chuchu14]

41 weeks and feel this baby may never come. It's my 2nd and my first came at 39 weeks so wasnt prepared for the waiting game. Not wanting to go down the induction route as had a pretty hideous time with my first but desperate to meet baby now. Any tips for distraction and not going slowly mad waiting. I feel a huge disappointment everytime I wake up from a nap or after the night as I feel it's just never going to happen!!!

I know how you feel I had my 1st at 38 + 5 and second didnt come till 41 weeks!!

The only thing I could do to distract me was finding stuff to do. I ended up making bracelets with my DC we made loads and loads of them all different colours! I do feel you pain though everyday feels like a year! Fingers crossed something happens soon

Thanks @Lou2120 it's such a hard mental rollarcoster.... weirdly convinced myself that it will only happen during the night etc but I guess it could happen anytime! Been having mild cramps on and off for the best part of a week... keep telling myself the signs are good!

@chuchu14 its mentally draining being overdue. Really hope you have baby soon!

Thanks me too 🙏
