   i feel for you!!!   when talking about inductions and elective c/s for overdue bubs my mw told my i wouldn't have to worry because bubs would be here early or right on time..........41wks rolled around and i went into labour FINALLY!!
 hang in there, i hope something happens for you soon!  if not, there's not too many days left before they'll do something about it for you, especially with your BP   |

   I know how you feel! I went 10 days overdue with my first and then 18 days overdue with my 3rd. Its hard but rest as much as you can and bubba will let you know when he/she is ready to be born.    |

   You would think with the highish BP (well the top number is high) they would be looking at an induction wth you. Here's hoping that baby is out very soon. |

   You poor thing.  Joshua was 10 days overdue and it was the longest 10 days of my life!
 But I would think with your high BP they would be considering an iduction very soon.....
 Try and sleep.... It will be the last time for a veeeeeeeeery long time that you'll be able to do it at will    |

   Sit squatting if you can, it helps the head put pressure on the cervix and might speed things up for you. lol about your DH, I think mine was in denial about the whole birth process, still he managed to get through a c/s even though he did look a little green   |
