Past due date

I’m 40w2d today. I’m in the same boat as well. I honestly feel like I won’t be able to go naturally at this point and will end up having another C-section 😭

@Destiny Have you scheduled a C-section or induction already ?

I have a prenatal appointment to see how dilated I am on Wednesday. If I’m dilated enough my ob feels comfortable doing an induction but if not I also have C-section scheduled for Thursday at exactly 41wks. I haven’t been dilated at all when he’s checked the past 3 weeks so that’s why I feel like I’m going to need another C-section

Still pregnant as well. This is my 4th child and I always go past my due date. I’m not worried about it. I’ve had natural, vaginal births. Just hang in there. It’s not uncommon to go past the estimated due date.

@Destiny you still have time though! Fingers crossed!

@Anna have you ever went over 41w though? That’s when my doc said I should do an induction because it can be dangerous for baby to wait more than that. I wanted to go natural but that’s making me insecure to wait over 41w.

I went to 41w4d and delivered my son vaginally a few weeks ago. I planned to have an induction at 42w. This resource helped me realize that risks for delivering at this time were minimal from my perspective: https://evidencebasedbirth.com/evidence-on-due-dates/#:~:text=About%20half%20of%20all%20pregnant,The%20other%20half%20will%20not.
