    I hear you!

    DS was born at 12 days overdue. I was book in for an induction the very next day. (I had two stretch and sweeps at 8 and 10 days over).

    We were sure about our dates as he was IVF (very precise!). But the MWs were happy to let us go to 13/14 days over before the induction.

    I think that when DS decided he was ready, I started labour and it was game on! No days of pre labour for me. The time between the very first contraction and the 2nd contraction was 4 minutes and I progessed very rapidly after that. So I reckon DS wanted to avoid the induction as much I did!

    I think I had almost resigned myself to the induction, so I was somewhat suprised to go into labour! Maybe I was that bit more relaxed and that helped. DH and I had planned to spend our last couple day together before the induction doing special things (but turned out we spent it in labour).

    So sending you lots of labour vibes.

    I hope today is the day!

    I only went 3 days over but it was agony, so can only imagine how much you want this baby out! Sending you labour vibes.

    DD was 12 days 'overdue'. I didn't have an induction booked, I would've talked about that only after 14 days. Just remember, it's only an Estimated Due Date, babies aren't all ready at the same time! Your baby WILL come naturally whenever the time is right, just try and relax and be patient (gosh I remember how hard that was!!)
