If you already had your overdue baby, how overdue were you and was natural or induced?
If you are still overdue, how overdue are you and if your induction is scheduled, when is it?

Re: Overdue mommas and mommas to be
Last time I was six days overdue and my water broke on it's own.
Right now I am 2 or 3 days overdue, depending on which due date I feel like going by. I'm not scheduled for induction yet. I go to the doctor on Tuesday. I"m really hoping my water will break some time today or tomorrow. I'm ready.
Both my babies were overdue, but came naturally shortly before their induction date.
My first baby was 9 days overdue. I was scheduled for the induction at 10 days overdue.
My second baby was 4 (almost 5) days overdue. The induction for that one was scheduled for 8 days overdue.
I'm due tomorrow and have an appointment and NST. I'm guessing the Doc and I will talk about induction then. I know the hospital doesn't like to wait beyond 41 weeks, but I'm hoping to wait longer as long as both the baby and I are ok. I really would rather labor starts on it's own since I've heard some negative things about pitocin. I'm still not sure how I feel about some of the other methods, so I'm hoping we talk about those options then.
I feel like 6 days is the magic number! Both my sister and two different friends went 6 days past their EDD. As much as I don't want to wait that long, it's at least better than the idea of waiting over a week.
