I went 18 days over with my DD16, I was'nt induced because my cervix was'nt ripe. I was monitered at the hospital for an hour each day and at my last doc appointment he gave me a stretch and sweep, my waters broke that night and labour was very mild I was told to walk and walk I did 36 hour later they induced me anyway and I gave birth 6 hours after that. She did'nt look that great, she was very skinny with loose skin everywhere, her skin was extremely dry for months after, she was weak and needed to be suctioned then ended up with a virus that saw us in hospital for 2 weeks. I would'nt go that far over again. I had another baby 10 days over and the placenta was looking worse for wear but bubs was great 9pound 10. I would suggest AC to help things along, my last pregnancy I was booked for a c-section on my due date and had AC around 4 days before, did'nt really think it would work, but that evening after an avro session I was in labour.
Good luck, hope it all goes nicely..
(DD16 overdue 18 days was alos a bubs that was posterior, my theroy is they are in the wrong possie to start labour properlly or effective labour, with my worst posterior labours my watres broke first but labour did'nt really start until induction went ahead>>>)
