I was talking to another doula a while back who told me about a mum she was working with who was having a homebirth. She birthed a healthy baby at home at 44 weeks.

Yep you read that right. 44 weeks. Healthy baby.

Gaby what you were saying in your post about your missed miscarriages struck a cord with me too. I've had two missed m/c's as well, yet I went into spontaneous labour with my first baby at 36 weeks She too was born at a good weight, normal and healthy.

I just think we need to have a bit more faith in ourselves and our babies. Babies DO come out eventually. They do! And even quite "overdue" ones, the vast, vast majority of the time come out just fine.
