past due check in

I know some of you still have a few weeks to go but for the ladies past due lets help keep each other sane!
40 weeks plus 1 day. I know it doesn't seem like much but I am soooo done! and sick of thinking "today's the day"....who else is with me?
tell me what your "plan" is....
heres mine: OB won't induce until earliest 41 weeks 1 day, which is next saturday for me. I go on friday for NST, US, and exam, and IF she thinks my cervix is ready, will start the process friday night, and she is on call saturday so she will deliver. im glad she happens to be on call bc i really want her to deliver, but baby HOPEFULLY will arrive before then. OR she'll say i'm not ready and i have to continue to WAIT.
oh and just because your first baby was early don't make the same mistake I did by EXPECTING your second to be early!!!

Re: past due check in
Yep...1 day past due.
My first son was born at 38 weeks, so I just ASSUMED this one would come then, too. So silly. 
No plans to induce. I'm having a homebirth, so we're waiting for this little one to decide when he wants to be born. Hoping it's soon....because I'm so done. 
As a bonus (and of course, TMI), I've lost my mucus plug/had spotting over the past 4 days. PLEASE tell me I'm close...even lie to me.
Good luck!!!
40 +1 today too. I wake up fifteen times a night to pee and every time I get out of bed I'm all disappointed that my water doesn't break. LOL. And when I'm done peeing, I am inspecting the toilet/TP for traces of my mucus plug.
I'm breaking out the breast pump later on tonight! Come on LO!
I am 40 + 2, it sucks!! I have been bumped 2 days in a row for induction. Oh well it would be better if he came on his own anyway! Just had an NST this am and everything looks just fine!
I went 8 days over with my first and had to be induced!
This. And I'm even further away. 2 weeks from my due date. I think this kid is trying to bust out but nothing is happening!!
3 days overdue here and going nuts!! Everything hurts and is so sore. I have to get up 100 times to go to the bathroom at night which is so painful! We can go to 42 weeks with our midwife, but at our next appointment on wednesday, I have to start a regimen of herbs and castor oil, which I am NOT lookin forward to!! After the stories I've read about castor oil, I'm not going to be leaving the house!! C'mon baby!!! Lol
Make a pregnancy ticker
40 + 3 here! Feeling very certain at this point that an induction is unavoidable and trying to be okay with that. Honestly, now that I am not expecting to go into labor on my own, I'm much less stressed and having a TON of fun telling people I was due Wednesday when they ask! The looks are priceless!!
I am doing the OWTs: pressure points, walking, pumping, sitting on the ball, etc, but more just to try to encourage baby to drop since my cervix was so high at my check Thursday so things will be easier.

At 40w6d, our Team Green surprise came by unplanned C-section and changed our lives forever!
40+3 here! We are inducing at 41 weeks because doc thinks LO is big. She's actually concerned about his length because I am only 5'4" and he seems to be growing longer rather than fuller. I told her I was having nightmares about having a huge baby and she said she has been worrying about me as well (just sharing because I thought it was cute that she said that).
Anyway, during an earlier u/s they said a more accurate due date would be today. Lost my MP this morning and I was hoping that was a sign that the u/s date was correct, but nothing else has happened since then.
