Just wanted to add to my post from before ds1 was induced at 37w ds2 I was NOT being induced unless something really serious happened where it was going to a life saving intervention. Anyway the hospital I birth at have the policy of 41+3 with no longer than 42w when it was presented to me that "we will book you in for induction at 10days over" I was upfront that i wouldnt be booked in, I was asked how far I wanted to go before i would choose induction I said indefinitely and was supported by several different obs (was seeing midwives but got sent to appts with obs once overdue) I don't really believe in overdue and try not to use the term to me its just past your due date not overdue.

I completely understand that being past your edd increases your risk of still birth but like it was mentioned before it's only a small risk. And what is practically never mentioned is induction increases your risk of stillbirth too, as well as a whole list of other things.
