Due date and struggling

Anyone else 40+ or near it and feeling deflated? I had a 2nd sweep today and have been booked in to speak with induction of Labour team next Friday when I’ll be 41 weeks. I know it’s expected to go overdue with your first baby but really didn’t think I would struggle this much. Even though I know baby will be here within the next two weeks every day just feels so long, between being sore, not sleeping and feeling gross 😭

40+4 and I feel you lovely. I've got an induction booked for Monday at 41 because I can't do anymore 😂

Due date twins and still waiting on my little one. I have a second sweep on Tuesday and then will probably have to consider an induction at 41 weeks too, so in the exact same position as you 🥲

Have any of u lost ur mucus plug? Iv lost bits of mine but still waiting for contractions

@Naomi I’m 40 +4 today as well. I had a stretch and sweep today and have booked my induction for Wednesday. I was going to do it sooner but chickened out and wanted to give baby more time to do this on her own after the sweep🥹

@Z yeah I have but I lost it on Tuesday and still waiting and had a sweep on Thursday morning

@Abigail I had a sweep Thursday and nothing so far 😭

I’ve had two sweeps this week and nothing yet :(

I am 40+3 today and having first sweep on Sunday. They booked my induction for Thursday in case sweep doesn’t work. Will be 41+1 then. I feel like my baby it’s just way too comfortable in there but feeling good in self so trying nit to rush things along too much.

I had mine at 40+4 with everything kicking off the afternoon of the 40+3. We did the deed daily from 40 and it may have helped, prescribed by the midwife..obvs 🤭. I declined the sweep at 40

@Debora anything u noticed leading up to that day?

Not a single one! It was frustrating!

I am 40+6 and had one failed sweep. Got another one today. I am just using this extra time to spend with my first born.

I’m 41 weeks today and had 2 sweeps that haven’t done a thing 😔 booked for induction today as there are still absolutely 0 signs of this baby coming anytime soon without 😣

@Isabella aw wish you the best of luck! Baby will be with you soon 💖
