With my first I went 2 days over, had a quick natural birth. I'm hoping to follow that trend, but I'm honestly not holding my breath - LOL. This boy seems to be comfy.
oh how exciting sarah!! you're so close!
With my second son I went over by 7 days and was induced and with my fourth 1 day but was induced due to high BP. HTH.
hugs xoxo
Race ya to the birth suite;) :rolleyes::
6 days over labour started naturally, Zander was born at 8 days over.
With Mya i was spot on, but still had to be induced.
With Bodhi i went 7 days over. I was booked in to be induced 4 days later. Glad it happened naturally tho. I had an internal(ewwww) the day b4 he was born & i think it helped things along.
He was a 9.5 lb baby, so i can only imagine how big he would of been if he held off those extra 4 days:ohehe
Sending :happyforyou: Labour vibes up the hills to you........
I think you'll go tomorrow night xoxoxoxoxoxo
****LABOUR VIBES!!!*** Hopefully you wont even read this message!! I was induced at 9 days over and she arrived at 11 days over :rolleyes:
Hi Gracie, it WILL happen very soon for you!
With my DS I went into labour 7 days overdue and he was born the next day, making him 8 days overdue (like you are today!). I was booked in to be induced if I went 10 days over, luckily I didn't need to worry.
Wishing you all the best, you are doing really well!
My DS was born at 42 weeks and 1 day. I went into labour naturally but after my waters broke and were very heavily meconium stained I didn't progress past 8 cm and after 14 hrs had a CS. Hot nice but my DS is the most delicious little man ever!
Umm please remember this was nearly 21 years ago but i was 20 days overdue. Yes 20. This was due to a hospital record keeping mix up because there was a woman with a extemely similar name to myself my OB at the time picked up the wrong file at cinic . OB was going on leave for two weeks wrote something on my notes about induction when he returned if i hadn't birthed in the mean time .
Long stort but my DD was born 20 days over her skin was just peeling off her when she was eventually born. Was a horrific experience for a first time mum :(
Gracie i know you wont go that far over, your little one will turn up right before induction i bet :)
DS I was induced 10 days over and with DD I had her 9 days over. Good luck I hope you will be holding your little bundle of joy very soon.

My first birth was at 14 days post dates, second on due date 3rd 10days post dates, 4th on due date! I have never had to date an augmented birth - they all came with a little help from herbs, epo etc etc. I did have a stretch and sweep with my first birth...
My labour started naturally 7 days post dates, DD was born 10 days post dates (was booked in on that 10th day to be induced).
I am expecting much the same this time, I'm not even going to discuss induction till I am 14 days over (PAHLEEESE don't let that happen :pray:).
thanks for all your good wishes everyone! really hoping something happens soon!!!
Abby was 9 days over and was born after I had my waters broken. Don't worry they all come out eventually!!
I was booked in to be induced 7 days over due. taht morning i had a show and ended u going into labour an hour after i was meant to be induced. Archie was born the next day 8 days over due.
I was induced at 10 days over, due to low fluid levels. I only had an ARM, not the drip (my choice), and had a vaginal birth that evening. I had already started contractions naturally the night before, but still needed to speed things up.
Good luck!
I am now 2 days over and after a scheduled antenatal appointment this morning I am being induced on Sunday which will be 7 days over. I've had a normal pregnancy and am still feeling pretty good - no BP issues or anything so I am a little disappointed at not being able to wait for things to progress. On the upside, I still have three days to convince the baby to come out willingly so will gladly accept any labour vibes that anyone can send our way. ;)
Gracie ,
I have a close friend who was 6 days over dates and told she would be induced on Friday , her SIL (a midwife) gave her this aromatherapy mix , she bought it Sunday, had used it twice a day till last night and is now in well established labor, am expecting news any time now :)
Thought you might like the receipe :)
LABOUR & CHILDBIRTH
10 drops Jasmine 3%
5 drops Clary Sage
25mL Apricot Kernel oil
Massage over abdomen and lower back only when labour has started or if baby is overdue
Hope it helps if you try it :)
My first was EDD 30/7 was born the 1/8
second was EDD 24/8 was born 28/8
Third was 23/10 was born 6/11.
All natural (first was helped along with the drip once waters broke)
My first 2 children were overdue by about 10 days.
I went into labour naturally with my first at 9pm and she was delivered at 5.30pm the next day by vac suction. I think because I went private with my 2nd baby my OB didn't want me to go too long overdue (despite me having a history of it) so I was induced at 8am and delivered vaginally just after midnight that night. I wish I had been left alone to go into labour naturally. Neither of my over due babies had any signs of being 'over cooked' and I had good amniotic fluid levels and the placentas were good too. I think my body just needs a bit longer than other women...
My third baby was induced because I had cholestasis at 37 weeks but I bet he would have been overdue as well.
Bath my 3rd was 12 days over & looked good, my 2nd was 4 days over & everyone commented on how overdue he looked.
I was booked in for an induction at 41 weeks, had the gel and my waters broke around 1am and contractions started so I didn't end up needing the drip, I'd been having cramp type feelings for a few days before and looking back it was probably early labour, so I think I probably would have gone into labour not much past this date anyway, I was well and truly ready!;)
Sending you lots of labour vibes, it won't be long now!
Stretch and sweep at 6 days over, rupture of membranes and then eventually the drip 8 days over, and delivered at 9 days over. He didn't look overcooked at all. Mind you, I was enormous!
Tia was 10 days over and arrived without any help.
Alisha was 4 days over and came out very quickly.
Now i'm just hoping that this one will arrive either a little early or at least on time!:pray:
with makon i was induced on 41+6 and he was born 42+1
Arquene was born 41+2
My water broke and I had him 7hrs later - 7days over!
