40+3 and no baby

AND my OB is on emergency leave for two weeks. I'm starting to freak out, you guys. I don't want my baby to stay in too long. :(

Bless your heart momma hang in there. I think the most is 42wks, but you might try bouncing on a medicine ball,  it helps bring baby down more. Good luck to you momma ♡

Castor oil worked for me and a couple of my friends.

Ive read about women delivering naturally at 43 weeks 4 days. And everything was fine!  I know we all don't want to wait past our due date.  But I'd rather my baby go through a natural labor then an induced one!  Just find some things to do to get your mind off things.  Clean, organize,  go on walks,  make freezer meals,  etc. You'll be fine,  i promise! I was 2 weeks over due with my first,  it was hard.  But in the end your baby and body knows when its ready!

Well just remember baby isn't late until week 42. I know it's rough and no fun but baby is picking the best birthday for a reason. Hang in there! It will be here before you know!
