Who is 40+ weeks?

I think I may win most pregnant since I think Somdgirl83 is being induced today.

 I use to always see these posts and think "man I hope that's not me" and here I am 41 weeks 1 day.

 I'm being induced tomorrow, what are you plans if you are overdue, any induction dates yet?

    I'm 40 weeks, 1 day...no induction date yet, but we're discussing one at my next appt. I have 6 days to go into labor on my own...REALLY hoping to get things going so I can avoid induction!

    I am 40 weeks, 2 days.

     Because I don't want to be induced, we have scheduled non-stress testing for my 41 week mark.  If our little guy is still OK in here, they will let me go four more days before being induced.  If the non-stress testing shows that he would benefit more by getting outta here, they are going to induce that evening.  Basically, I have five more days to go into labor naturally before we have to consider induction.  I hope I go naturally! 

    HOWEVER--My little sister was induced ten days early back in July and she had a textbook labor and delivery.  As long as your cervix is favorable, induction isn't the worst thing that could happen.

     GOOD LUCK!!  Smile

    I am!!  The plan is that I will be induced at 41w3d (10/23, my birthday) if baby doesn't come out on her own before then.  I have a regular appt this Friday, and then will have an u/s and NST on Monday if nothing happens over the weekend.

    I am and I'm so frustrated! I'm 40 weeks and 1 day and just got back from my dr. appt. I haven't progressed at all since my last appointment 10 days ago and I swear I have tried just about everything under the sun. I'm still at 1cm and my cervix is still thick and high. We scheduled an induction for next Wednesday (10/22) night. AHHH!!!!!

    To top it all off we are supposed to move on 10/25 and kind of figured she would be here by now. Instead we are planning to move this weekend so that we don't have to worry about it next week. So now we have a dilema - do we switch to a different Kaiser hospital that is 20 mins from our new place OR stay at the Kaiser we have been going to but it is 1.5 hour drive from the new place. I'm not so concerned about not having my doctor as we will probably have a midwife deliver that is working that day but I just don't know what to do.

    I'm 40 weeks today. Unfortunately I found out just YESTERDAY that my baby is breech, and she's too big to turn on her own or try a version, so I'm scheduled for a c-section tomorrow morning. I'm totally bummed, I had such an easy recovery from my vaginal birth with DD.

    I'm 40 weeks and 3 days today. My MW said most first-timers go between 40 and 41 weeks, so at my appointment next week (41 weeks and 1 day) we'll talk about using caster oil to get things moving. They'll let me go to a full 42 weeks before we do any kind of medical induction. They're a little concerned that the baby is getting big, so they've been sweeping my membranes to also try to encourage things along.
