Thanks everyone for your posts.

Having this PUPPPS rash is making it extremely uncomfortable for me as I'm constantly itchy and that makes me really irritable whereas if I didn't have it, I would be coping ALOT better I'm sure. I don't feel that uncomfortable being heavily pregnant but when I'm itching it's just hard.... and anyone who has experienced it will know what i mean....

Had an Acupuncture appointment yesterday and found I had a few contractions during it! So that was something very positive. I've also had alot of prelabour pains the last 2 weeks so my body is close I'm sure..... I hope!

I actually haven't focused much on my EDD and I knew that it was only an "estimate" and have always told family and friends that our baby would be due end of jan/early feb, and never really gave a date to anyone (except here on BB) as I knew the statistics of first time mothers usually having babies later.....however its still easy to get hung up on an EDD date especially when mine was "Australia Day" lol

I just wanted to start this thread to hear others stories and now I feel alot better reading them, so thank you. I don't feel so "alienated" if that makes sense and I know that it's quite normal for your baby to be 6 or more days late..... lots of late babies stories in here by the looks of it.....

And thank you for the induction stories it's good to hear that not all inductions end badly.
And yep, DH is spoiling me.... he spoils me daily so i really can't ask for much more
