How long before baby MUST be born?

My OBS (Dennis Price) lets you go to 44 weeks:eek: he says as long as bubs is fine there is no need to worry.

Thats fantastic!! 44 weeks is great. It is so good to take that pressure off.

Gee, this has been a wonderful thread to find!

I am exactly 41 weeks today and can relate to alot of what FIonaJill said.

Great to hear other people's experiences of "going over".

I think i have too many people in my ear banging on about "when will you be induced" as if, after one week, that is the only option. WHich i think is rubbish btw.

So glad i have a very supportive midwife, backupmidwife and student midwife - between those three, i don't think any obst. would dare rush me!!! ha ha

Well i guessing by the little oic that FJ had the baby congrats and hoping all is well xx

I went to 40+17, i was induced due to nothing really happening... i never got to make any decisions, was "bullied" into everything. I was gonig for a nat birth 2nd time... another induction. 3rd was emergency c/s... maybe a 4th time lucky??

Good on you ladies for going naturally and making the decisions. :)
