41+1 :(

Baby boy isnt having any of it!
Havnt had a sweep or even been offered one, next appointment is on Friday when i will be almost 42 weeks..

Dreading being induced. Always said i wanted a water birth and gas and air but if i have to be induced ill be going straight for an epidural which ive sworn against for months!
Don't care what happens to get him out anymore, as long as he comes soon.
Fed up of being asked if he's here yet, no he's not and dont i know it! Lol.

Any May mummys left out there that dont have their babys yet? Feel like im the only one :(

Just had my third sweep at 40 + 5 and the doc says I'm 3cm and could possibly go in as early as tonight. I will have to go in for a stress test if I don't deliver by Thursday afternoon. I feel the same as you ladies, I wish I told people my due date was at 42 weeks so I didn't have all of this heckling! Wish they would all just leave me alone!

Thursday I will be 42 weeks! Being induced tomorrow AM at 5. My boy is being stubborn too! Ive had 3 sweeps done and all have obviously been unsuccessful. Not looking forward to being induced but hey, its what's best. Tonight is a "full strawberry moon" maybe we will all go into labor haha!

I completley understand that feeling, everytime i give out news he isnt here i feel like a failure, like i cant do the most basic thing a pregnant woman should be able to do.. my hubby keeps telling me its not my fault and he will come when hes ready but i still feel like crap :(

I'm 40 + 3. Hoping she will come sometime this week but who knows. Also getting texts from friends and family for updates. I feel like I'm disappointing people because she hasn't arrived yet but there isn't much I can do about it. Good luck ladies x

I hear you! I'm ready to snap at the next person who asks if the bbaby is here! I'm 40+5 and scheduled for an induction next Tuesday. I'm really hoping this baby will come in their own before that as I am the same as you, planned a fairly natural birth with just the gas but am afraid I will need an epidural as well if I'm induced.. Which I was really against getting!  We are almost there with our now June babies!!!

40 + 5 for me, thought for sure I was going to have a May baby. I see the doctor tomorrow morning for a third sweep. I have some tightening and lost my plug 6 days ago. I will be induced Sunday if our baby doesn't come. We don't know the sex. Hang in there mama! I am afraid of being induced as well!
