WOW I don't know if I could have done 45 weeks!!! With both my girls I refused induction. With Matilda at 15 days post EDD they got very cranky with me & I agreed... I won't go into the birth story but it wasn't a pleasant experience.

Because of that and trying for a VBAC (vaginal birth after caesarean) when I hit 41 weeks and the hospital started pushing for induction I dug my heals in. I asked for what reason and they pressured me saying that my placenta would stop providing for her. I said my first daughter was born at 17 days post EDD and my placenta was fine. I had a scan showing that my placenta was doing well & fluid levels were good. And then I went into spontaneous labour at 41 + 4 and had a beautiful birth.
