I went 10days over. Baby's skin was suuuper dry and flakey he was all prune like as if he'd been in the pool too long lol and my placenta wasn't too flash looking. I was booked in for induction 4days later so bang on 42weeks but he came before that. But MW booked the induction when I was already having contractions and had just had a S&S where I was 3cm dialated and she stretched me to 4cm.

I was also OD. My orginal EDD was Dec 12 but I was born 14days later on Dec 26 by C-Section. Guess I didn't wanna come out ]]> Sat, 12 Feb 2011 16:06:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1265296&title=overdue#1265296 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264911&title=overdue#1264911 Author: BerryBliss

My 10 day overdue baby had sure sings of being late, extremely dry and peeling skin, and he was fairly large at 10lb 13oz, and the placenta did not look so flash, so i was very happy to be induced and had a very fast 2 hour labour. Eeek 41 days overdue ]]> Fri, 11 Feb 2011 21:11:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264911&title=overdue#1264911 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264679&title=overdue#1264679 Author: Plushie

Thanks, i was too lazy to do the maths to work out the difference, didnt think it was that much though!!!

I was induced on my 10th day over after begging the OB for it. No signs of natural labour starting, 'not favourable' internal. I didnt have a lot of fluid left but baby was born with no signs of being overcooked and was 9+ lbs. I was ready to have it out only a couple of days over, power to those who can hold out so long!]]> Fri, 11 Feb 2011 13:59:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264564&title=overdue#1264564 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264343&title=overdue#1264343 Author: ElfsMum

i got induced and then labour naturally..and both were the same..(though both turned posterier in labour so i dont know what it's like if they arent) and i found no difference..

I went early with both mine..first one medical reasons and second just early as they had my dates wrong(which i told them at 6 week scan!!) anyway.. I admire anyone who can even go one day over...my hats off to you guys:)!!! ]]> Fri, 11 Feb 2011 09:55:35 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264343&title=overdue#1264343 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264286&title=overdue#1264286 Author: Bizzy

all my children were overdue and with all of them i had early scans (like 7 weeks early) so knew my due date was accurate. My longest was 42+3 days and they tried induction with him twice. None of them looked over cooked and they were all good weights - high 8 and 9 pounders. I really wish i had been able to stay firmer in my resolve not to have an induction with my last pregnancy as i'm pretty sure the outcome would have been a lot different if i had waited till she was ready. it certainly changed my attitude about a few things thats for sure. I only regret that i never got to experience going into labour spontaneously... ]]> Fri, 11 Feb 2011 09:01:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264286&title=overdue#1264286 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264174&title=overdue#1264174 Author: Leelee

My mum went 4 weeks over with my oldest sister. The doctors disagreed about her dates but when my sister was born she had obvious signs of been well overdue. Even that far over she was still a tiny 6lb something. Second oldest was i think was 3 weeks overdue then us 2 youngest were 2 weeks overdue.

I went 16 (14 days and then induced and 2 days to end up with a csection). My mw said I could have gone a few more days if I wanted but I was really over it by that stage. The hospital were adamant that I needed to be induced at 42 weeks and no later. ]]> Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:49:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264102&title=overdue#1264102 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264098&title=overdue#1264098 Author: mummymonster

My mum went 3 weeks overdue with my eldest sister, then did the cod liver oil thing.
My friend went 3 weeks overdue, when she went in for the induction they said she was already 2cm dialated and probably would go into proper labour very soon but they just gave her a chemical kick-start.
Same friend has long cycles, I do wonder if she'd been charting and knew the OV date if she'd find out that she wasn't late at all.
IMO (unmedical) if you've got your dates from knowing when you OV'd that's got to be more accurate than the start of the LMP - right?
Then there are the perople for whom the preg is a surprise and they are going from scan dates only, does "late" count when your date's given from measuring a fuzzy picture of someone who's only a couple of cm long?]]> Thu, 10 Feb 2011 20:45:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264098&title=overdue#1264098 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1264053&title=overdue#1264053 Author: rachelsea

I was happy to go 18 days before I looked at induction, but I did want monitoring just to check all was ok from 10 days over.

My Mum went into labour super early (3 months early) and they managed to stop it and then she ended up going just over two weeks overdue - that was with my sister (her first).

I went 40+6 before DS decided to arrive and that felt like long enough, though this time if I go further overdue I'll be asking to wait as long as possible without being induced, I really really want to go into labour naturally if at all possible.

Mum was 7 days over with me.

I went 15 days with #1 and 16 days with #2. I was induced with both and they took 3-4 days to come after the induction started. With both babies, the fluid levels were similar to a 38-40 weeker and they appeared like a 40 weeker (i.e not overcooked), so it seems that for me, a normal gestation is at least 42 weeks. If we had a #3, I'd see if I could (mentally) hold on longer before induction.

One of the July 08 mums was 17 days with her #1.

And AbzH - that's why hospitals are now changing their policies and often not inducing till at least 10 days, if not 12 days overdue. Partly cos dates are often wrong, and b/c a normal gestation is 38-42 weeks. They find that most women will go into labour before 42 weeks if they leave them along.

I went 17 days, went into labour on the 16th day and gave birth on the 17th. MW checked the placenta and it was just right so technically not overdue, just wrong dates. It frustrates me that some MWs are super keen to do an induction within a few days of being overdue when dates could just be wrong. ]]> Thu, 10 Feb 2011 14:37:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1263785&title=overdue#1263785 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37952&PID=1263780&title=overdue#1263780 Author: HippyMama
