Past due date

I was 2 weeks over due and i honestly felt the same. it’s said all the time but honestly baby will come when they want too xx

100% with you, due date was also Wednesday. Had a sweep 3 times this week as well and still only 2cm dilated. Did lose my mucus plug though but just morning. I completely understand where you are coming from, I also keep thinking to keep the oxytocin high but it almost adds to the stress thinking about it. I've just been having loads of baths, to the point I'm getting bored of them. It's the fear of not planning anything in case it happens but then needing to keep busy to distract so something does happen (this is my 2nd)

First babies are naturally late, it’s unfortunate x

Hiya I had my baby girl nearly 2 months ago and I can say it is all about your mindset. My labour started with broken waters but no contractions for days. Looking back it was because I didn't feel mentally ready for baby and motherhood just yet 😅 When I sorted that out and talked to baby that I am ready, literally 2hrs later contractions started naturally 🤗 Try to relax and keep calm. Baby will come when they are ready but also you need to feel ready/ish.

I could have written this today 😭 my EDD was Thursday and I’ve had on/off contractions for 3 weeks so really didn’t think I’d go past EDD, and today I’m annoyed at everything!

I could have written this myself! 2nd sweep tomorrow and then hopefully booking an induction for later in the week, (hopefully) thinking we’ll have her this time next week is keeping me going x

I know the feeling my EDD is tomorrow , part of me think little one will be late too

Heya, I felt exactly the same as you I was actually due last Sunday! I've had 2 sweeps and neither worked. I got to the on my second sweep I was offered an induction so I booked it for today. They did the checks today and I'm still sat at 1cm dilation which means they couldn't break my waters. So they've had to use a different method first before they can break waters. I get how you are feeling I felt so deflated about it all but now I'm here in hospital I still feel I'm having a natural birth just knew I couldn't wait another week.

Not long for you now then Jess! Good luck, you should have your baby in your arms tomorrow! I’m hoping to get a 2nd sweep tomorrow and will also be booking an induction if there’s still no signs. At least now due date has passed we know that in 2 weeks time we will definitely have a baby.

Hopefully not! I've got to wait 12hrs to find out if this procedure has worked first. But waters can break at any point so fingers crossed 🤞 100%! That's exactly what I thought in the end, but it took me all week to get to that mentality , I felt like my body had failed etc. But its my first so I never really know how I'm going to cope with things. I have my fingers crossed for you! Keep us updated ❤
