Hi Renstar, I went 14 days over with DS, I was booked in for an induction on the monday, went into labour myself on sat afternoon and he arrived at 10.30am Sunday.
DD was 1 week over, I went into labour at about 3am on a Wednesday and she arrived at 1 minute past midday. I was 2 cm dilated for 1 week and had a S&S on the friday before. I also had 2 acupuncture appointments a couple of days earlier but I didn't feel they helped at all.
P.S Both my bubs had very meconium stained waters and DD had to have quite a bit of "work" done to get her breathing. 1st APGAR was 2 and 5 and then 9. I had been pushing for 2 hours and she ended up a forceps assissted VBAC delivery.
Renstar, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better.
Just a thought, have you tried coolish baths with oatmeal. It is meant to relieve the itching of things like Psoriasis and Chicken Pocks. Oh, I just remembered, I think the stuff is called Dermaveen.
Oh, and seeing that you're so extremely organised... maybe so is your baby. And it needs to sort a few things out before moving out????
Or maybe s/he wants to be in control, too and this is your first battle of wills?
Ren, glad to hear you are feeling a bit more at peace about it all! I think you'll go soon...
My experience, well not mine but my sister - she went into spontaneous labour at 10 days over. The Obs she saw at 41wks said he didn't want to talk about induction as she was happy, bubs was happy, placenta good, cord good, so why induce? He was an older Obs and said that some of the other Obs at the hossy (public) wouldn't agree but he was happy to let her wait it out a bit longer if she was happy.
At her 42 week appt he said they might start discussing it - and she went naturally at 41+3.
Bubs was large (4.25kg), long nails and meconium in the waters so she was definitely ready!
