    I had one at 40 I think, same stats as you (I'd been 2cm dilated since before Christmas, had bub 18th of Jan) and ended up being induced at 41+3
    I had a fantastic, natural, no tearing, drug free induction tho! XD

    I had 2 or 3 S&S with DS when I was post dates. The midwife said that if it was going to work then I would be in labour in 24 hours. It was the last that worked for me - I went into labour about 20 hours later. I think a S&S is only effective if you are pretty close ready to pop anyway. DS was 12 days over.
