41+1 today and totally over it. House is cleaned,  everything organised and now I'm just getting impatient and bored!
Got a monitoring session tomorrow and booked in to be induced Tuesday! I really don't want to be induced so really hoping this Lil one comes out  naturally this weekend!
I had a sweep on Monday, had lots of cramping so thought it was going to work. .but then nothing :-(
So you ladies are not alone in what you are feeling!  We are all only a matter of a week away,so hang in there late May (now June) mummas's!!

I'm 40 + 6 and 1cm dilated. Booked in for induction at + 10 if nothing happens before. Everyday this week I've been asked if baby is hear yet. It's kind of nice but also tiring to constantly tell people she is still incubating. Just keep on telling myself that no matter what - this time next week I will be a mum :)

I'm 41 + 1 today and also still waiting, many people need to be induced, don't feel like failures!
I stopped giving my family updates and told them that no matter what I will have a baby at 42 weeks.
Doc is sending me for a stress test today to make sure baby and placenta are okay.
Hang in there ladies and keep me posted, you aren't alone!

Im 41+4 and i feel like a massive failure too.. havnt even been offered a sweep yet and have my next midwife appt tomorrow. Can see me ending up being induced this weekend which i am dreading. :(
I know it's not our bodys fault and 'baby will come when theyre ready' (which im sick of hearing) but i feel crap because i cant even go into labour on my own.
I thought it was going to happen weeks ago, its hard to believe im STILL pregnant and im so fed up of being asked if ive had the baby yet. Do people seriously think id just keep it a secret!? Agh :(

Don't worry. You are definitely not a failure. I am 40 + 5 and same story. I will be induced on Sunday if nothing happens by then. Good luck!
