Awwww Lisa, I know it's hard - but perhaps it might make you feel better if you can reinforce to yourself that you are doing the best thing for your baby by giving him / her a chance to come when ready - and you are giving yourself the chance at a more natural labour than an induced one. Keep teling yourself this and let positive thoughts take over.

Accept the lastest possible due date you have been given and if baby comes early then it would be wonderful! Check out the natural induction methods on the main site, which you can get started with now and hopefully bubs will come earlier than later. It's such a huge build-up for labour for just one day so hang in there! Afterwards you might wish differently. With the school thing, I am not sure when school starts back but will it be more difficult to co-ordinate with a newborn in arms than if pregnant? I am not a mum to school children yet so I am not sure when school goes back and how that fits in with your dates...
