Who else is 41 weeks?

I know there are a lot of threads about being over due. This is not a complain thread. Just curious who else has hit the 41 weeks mark. I'm 41 weeks tomorrow. Never thought I would go this long! Especially since this is #2 and DD was born 3 days after her due date... And they kept telling me the second one usually comes sooner.

I know at the latest this little man has to arrive is just 8 days away before he's going to be evicted, lol. But anyone else holding out for as long as possible to avoid being induced?

What have you tried to naturally induce labor? I've just been staying super active. No membrane sweeps or anything yet. Even went on a 2 mile hike today!!

    As aweful as it is at this point, i had sex...twice in the day before my waters broke. Husband didnt want to but the semen helped. I also had him and myself play with my nipples for some stimulation. :)

    Haha i had the urges but with bad pubic bone seperation and baby girl sitting so low...it was painful.
    Good for you..hopefully something works out. I ended up with pitocin and it gave me a panic attack and made baby girl very tired where she didnt eat for 14 hours. =/

    Trying to stay relaxed and do anything to produce happy loving feelings and hormones whether sex, cuddling, being around the right people etc. The weather hasn't cooperated much but I walk when I can. Tried pineapple as well with no results. Due date came and went and although it doesn't mean much I'm ridiculously happy to have finally lost my mucous plug because it's the first real sign this won't last forever! False contractions have done nothing thus far so this feels like progress!

    I'm now 41 weeks.. Feels like forever since my DD came at 36 weeks. I've tried walking, sex, pineapple, bouncing on yoga ball, evening of primrose oil, red raspberry leaf tea, spicy food, stairs, and two stretch and sweeps at 39 + 40 weeks. I am 3 cm dilated and 50% effaced along with loosing my mucous plug but nothing else has really changed. Induction is set for tomorrow morning!

    Well, going for a stress test today . Hopefully all goes well. 41+1 today.. Won't schedule an induction until after Thursday if he doesn't show up before then. Fingers crossed I don't have to wait that long!

    I will be 41 weeks on Wednesday and after a couple days of seeing some pretty intense signs, nothing now! It's so frustrating! I am scheduled for an ultrasound on Wednesday and they want to induce Thursday. I've been drinking red raspberry leaf tea, trying to stay as active as I can with the pelvic discomfort and hips out of alignment, and the constant urge to pee, and I've tried spicy foods as well as the husband and I gave it a go. No luck so far!

    I'll be 41 weeks on Wednesday! My induction date is set for Thursday night. Nervous for the pitocin after reading some comments! I've felt nothing .. But after a non stress test baby and I are doing better than normal the doctors say. Wish I felt like crap so it felt like I was at least progressing in any way. Had an appointment yesterday.. Not dilated or anything. SO FRUSTRATING!

    I'm 40 weeks baby #1 I tried sex it just gave me horrible Braxton hicks I assume all night and through the next day... Then they disappeared. I know 1st babies come late but I'm still here with my belly now I'm going to have an April baby... Guess I need to switch from the March forums ... But never did I guess I'd still be pregnant I was getting Braxton Hicks from 8months until and he's still not here

    I'm 41 weeks on Sunday planned to be induced next sat which means I'll be 41.6 weeks

    I've tried walking sec bouncing on ball and eating spicy foods all in which I've done throughout my whole pregnancy so don't think they work she'll come in her own time
