The midwives are soooo awesome! I'm having a hospital birth but they are cool with me being 42 weeks tomorrow. I just had a foley catheter put into my cervix because we are trying to gently induce me (no chemicals because of my c-section). The midwife said just to call on Sat or Sun if I'm not in labor yet and schedule another NST. She did say that around 43 weeks they will probably be getting worried if I'm not showing any signs yet --but that gives me a whole week more to get going!
I went in there today totally prepared to offer them a scheduled c-section on Monday or Tuesday if I could have the weekend to keep trying to go into labor. But it wasn't even an issue. She says that the baby is obviously really healthy and I have a ton of amniotic fluid, as well as a family history of going postdates, so I'm fine to wait.
