I was born at 44+1 and I reckon I turned out OK!
No major health issues etc apart from being rather scaly at birth.

I went over with DS and was refused an u/s to monitor placenta, instead advised I would be threatening the life of my unborn child go go past 41+3.

I hope your OBS let you have the monitoring as I was induced, and while my induction was pretty smooth and I had a VB, I don't think DS was ready as here was still vernix (sp?)
