Hi - am new to this forum so still finding my way around and sorry if there is already a chat on this subject...
I am 3 days over due, not bad. However baby number one I was 2 weeks overdue and then 60 hour labour and I am scared of the same thing. I have no symptoms over labour being anytime soon - just odd cramping. Had scan last week and baby still all good, lots of fluid etc etc. Am meeting midwife again Mon. Have tried 3 x to get a stretch and sweep but midwife says my cervix is not ready and still right at the back and unreachable. I have a posterior sitting baby as well. Have tried 5W tablet and accupunture and still no signs. Just wanting to chat to others overdue...first or second babies, esp second pregnancies and here your stories. I know I just need patience, but with a 19 month at home I am exhausted and havent even started labour yet.... |

ohhh I sympathise,Im not pregnant now,but I went two weeks over with my third baby and it was exhausting at the end with a 21month old to run around after as well.
I hope your baby decides to get a move on and come out sooner than her sibling,I was meant to be induced at 13 days but she decided to kick things off that morning,still went to my induction,but just had my waters broken,and then a very quick labour (second and subsequent births often are quicker) FX for you it happens soon ! -------------

Ah, I sympathise too. I went into labour at 41+6 last time, and I am a bit nervous about the same thing happening this time. Hopefully things happen for you soon. -------------

argh that sucks!
DD didn't come out til 18 days overdue so I know how exhausting it can be. try and get as much rest as you can and don't spend hours trying to get that baby out if it exhausts you as sounds like you're tired enough. here's hoping bubs is here for ya soon! ------------- http://lilypie.com">
