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).
