41+1 today. Saw my midwife and she checked me and did a sweep to try and encourage things to get moving. I was at 1cm, but she stretched me to a 2. I'm still sitting at 50-60% effaced. Basically, no change in weeks. Hopefully the sweep does something.
@Spylon stay strong! You got this. I never even got to the pitocin, the "slow acting" ripening agent was enough to wake everything up and she was delivered 6 hours after meds. So your body knows what to do just might need a nudge!
I'm due today... I'd been 2 cm dilated for 2 weeks, this past wednesday, i advance to almost 3cm. Weds night I had contractions off and on all night and thought it was starting, but then they stopped! And nothing since. Friends suggest I was having BH, but I thought those were painless? The ones I was having were definitely painful, but not excrutiating. Anyway, just trying to stay active to encourage this baby to come along! Hang in there everyone, we'll all have our babies soon (hopefully)
I'm due tomorrow. Was another cm up at my appointment last Monday. Making me 3cm and fully effaced. Started out at 1cm and 80 percent effaced a month ago. Not had one BH or contraction that I'm aware of. Convinced I'm going to be pregnant forever! Really hoping not to have to be medically induced and soo over waiting! I've tried every safe thing in the book to get labor going and not a twinge. Having a hard time leaving the house these days besides to get in my daily walking attempt in and the temperatures have sky rocketed here and it's way too hot to be massively pregnant outside. Here's to that hoping!! Praying all of us get to hold our babies REALLY soon
With my due date this past Friday 5/27, I've realized when people ask when I'm due I can honestly say, "last week!" Facial expressions I'm getting in return are fun.

My widwife said that its supposedly helps the baby get in good position/ the head hitting your cervix could help dilate. Many women swear by it but you have to walk a lot. I try and shoot for 3 miles but I'm beginning to give up as it hasn't done a darn thing! Apparently once contractions start walking can help labor to keep progressing, but I haven't even gotten one contraction from swift walking yet. Doesn't hurt to try I guess! Hope it works for you!

@lionstigersbearsThis is the only part I'm enjoying of being overdue! Getting a lot of "omg please don't go into labor here!" whenever I tell them.
Also so feeling a lot better now that I'm past my due date. I thought I'd go late, but my due date felt like a big milestone and I got really stressed when nothing happened then. Now I would love baby to come but nothing notable about any particular day anymore, and if nothing happens then the end is still in sight with induction scheduled for 6/5 at 41w2d!
