    My doula told me of a lady who went 20 days over, the hospital made a time for her to go in to be induced and the lady just didn't rock up .

    She went on to have a happy and healthy bub, not over cooked or anything!

    I went to 42 attempting a VBAC, and in hindsight could have gone longer. Monitoring showed a healthy happy baby so there was no real "medical" reason at that time other than they were toey with me being a VBAC'er and at 42 weeks and saying that babies can die after that with no warming. Should have asked for that study.
    On another forum I have read of a lady who went to something like 45 +1 with absolutely no issues.
