Feeling rubbish

Hi all! I am currently 40 weeks plus 3 and I'm feeling so disheartened Christmas is coming and little man still isn't here I'm 3 days overdue which is nothing I know and it's my first baby so I'm well aware they can take their time! I had a sweep Wednesday (1cm dilated) and I have had no progression at all, I feel so bad saying it but I'm really struggling as I feel like I'm doing something wrong. I was really really hoping he would be here for Xmas and with only 3 days to go I don't think he will be or he will come Xmas day or something.

Everyone keeps asking me for updates or if I have had any signs and I really haven't so I'm just feeling a little gutted, I have been trying everything to see if I can get him out but nothings happening.

Anyone else been in the same boat?

Thank you xx

Sweep didn't work for me either around 40+1.
You can ask for an induction - I did with mine at 41 weeks, but my hospital said I could ask for it any time over 40 weeks.
You are not doing anything wrong. Some babies just like it inside too much.
