I'm giving my uterine occupant a healthy side eye. His brother held out for an extra week, though, so I can't judge too harshly. Checkup Wednesday and BPP set for Friday in case he attempts the full 42 weeks.
I'm past my due date (May 1), too. I'm not a patient person so the wait is killing me. My dr already has my induction scheduled and the midwife didn't sound hopeful about me having the baby before then.
I was due May 3 and I'm sitting here without any contractions or sign of labor. At Thursday's appointment I was 50% effaced but no dilation yet I go back this Thursday so hopefully some progress will have been made by then. My daughter was 6 days late, so I guess we shall see.
I was due yesterday. We took the dogs for a long walk, went food shopping, cleaned the entire house....nothing. I was having some contractions this morning, but they seem to have subsided. I am dilated and about 70% effaced, so I'm still hopeful she'll come on her own. But I have an induction scheduled for Wednesday just in case.

May the 4th be with you... Always!
My DH has been rooting for May the 4th for this reason since we found out the due date. I would think he was cray but I wanted to give our baby the middle name Skywalker and he had to talk me off that ledge.
Not overdue yet, but my midwife swears I'll go late. I'm sort of looking forward to it so when customers ask when I'm due (which happened four times yesterday), I can tell them last week and get to see their expressions.

I do like saying 3 days ago when people ask. The expressions are almost worth it.

I'm hoping to go at least a little late this time. I was ten days late with my son. The alarmed faces when people asked when I was due and I said last week, those were the best.
This is why I WISH they didn't give you an exact date and instead encouraged the "birth month" concept. I'm always so anxious as if there's some kind of timer that will ding on the EDD but has yet to happen for me. I'm due in 3 days but both of my older kids have gone post date; 41wks and 40+3. I'm hoping for next weekend.
Thinking labor thoughts for you ladies already hearing your timers!
I think I read only about 5 percent of women give birth on their due date, but 70 percent give birth within 10 days before or after.

I'm not overdue yet, just super anxious. I'm also kind of mad at my dr--- the while time I was measuring big and early and blah blah blah... Because they said that every time I got it stuck in my head (even though I knew better) that I would go early, and now that I'm not, I'm aggravated. She estimated by feel yesterday that he was probably about 8- 8 1/2 pounds.
