Hey Ren. I really feel for you with this rash. It is hard enough going over that EDD even when you don't have to contend with such terrible discomfort.
I went 7 days over with Natty. At 6 days over I was really restless and moved around a lot. In fact, during prelabour the next morning I was encouraged to move, walk etc and it really got things going for me.
In that week, there was nothing said about inductions, other than we'll talk about it around 41 weeks, so there wasn't any pressure on me (other than what I put on myself of course), which I think really helped.
One thing I've read and been told about by midwives is that babies often arrive once the mother has come to a kind of 'peace' about things. I was so upset to go past my due date and cried a fair bit. But as the days carried on I found myself realising that birth was closer than ever, and I suppose I did find a certain peace in that.
I really hope it happens soon for you, mate, and that you don't have to think about inductions at all. (Even though not every induction is terrible.) Take care, mate.
