I went 14 days overdue with DD2 and had to be induced. I had been having really strong braxton hicks every night for at least a week beforehand and had a sweep at 41+7. Sadly it didn't do the trick for me.

Good luck for your impending birth, try and get as much rest as you can before your LO arrives

Went for a sweep at T&7 but didnt have it as they thought the head wasnt engaging and sent me or scan 2 days later to see if the placenta was lying low...the scan showed all was well so I was booked in for an induction at T&11. I went in and was given my first pessary @ 8am but sh wasnt born until the follwing evening @ 8.27pm (T&12) and by c section as I hadnt dilated past 3cm in all that time

The lazy little bugger would still be in there if we hadnt got her out, she was too comfy in there

I'm really worried about having to be induced Don't want that at all!

I'm really worried about having to be induced Don't want that at all!

It wasnt what I had hoped for, but by the time I went in I was just so relieved to be finally meeting my LO-I had a great experience, and even though the induction failed, I still had the most fantastic birth experience-and I was so terrified all the way through my pregnancy.

Just enjoy the last few days, rest as much as you can and try and focus on the end goal-holding your bubba.

I really can sympathise, everyone on here due after me went early, and it was sooo frustrating My due date was such an anti climax- I spent the day in tears as my phone was ringing, and mobile beeping with texts "have you gone yet??"....and I was sooo fed up

All the best and I hope things happen soon for you-if they dont then try and look forward to induction, you may even have a wonderful experience like I did

Thank you so much for your reply Ruby's Mummy You are right!

Here have these and stay positive, the end is nigh

My midwives said I was a joy to deal with and I swear it was down to the fact I was so piggin excited that I took everything in my stride (except for the internals )

Heres my birth story, hope you mind me putting it here, but I just wanted you to see a nice induction story so you arent too worried about it...

Thanks for posting your birth story The bit about you bouncing on the ball with your ipod on made me laugh

I'm glad Ruby arrived safely in the end, she is gorgeous!

I feel quite excited about meeting my baby now, I know that whatever happens i'll only have just over a week at the most to wait
