I know, my first 2 were very near 42 weeks when they decided to make their appearance and then my third came 1 day early. I am hoping this one waits at least until my EDD. I was totally taken by surprise last time and wouldn't even believe that I was actually in labour.

I'm 40+5 tomorrow. I'm not really hoping to go past my due date, but I have been perfectly happy doing all the things we've been doing in the past few days. I know I wouldn't have been able to go to the zoo (today) or the water park (yesterday) or the parade (day before) or the many wonderful meals and fun things we did this week with my family. It's been great.

I was +10 days with DD so I am anticipating giving birth in the next few days. If it takes longer than that, I will continue to breathe and be OK with that.

I should also say that I am, as of today, taking 5W which is the ONLY labor enhancer I've attempted in this pg or the last.

Here here. According to LMP, I'm 41 + 4 today and *nothing* is happening. :

I'm not hoping to, but if it happens, it happens. I feel like I've been pregnant forever. I mean, I tested positive at 9 DPO - which was 3w3d. I am now 39w. I can last another week. Another 3 weeks? Yikes.... It's not being pregnant so much that I don't like, it's the cramping and the pubic bone pain and weak bladder and the enormous ankles that are starting to wear on me.

As of right this instant I wouldn't mind it. I actually have this little part of me that hopes I do so I can shove it in my midwives face and prove to them that I will not now or ever birth a 6-7 lb baby...of course I don't want complications again, so we'll see.

I honestly hope I go over about a week but then that's just because I have plans, lol. I really don't mind when baby comes as long as everything goes well and we have a natural vaginal delivery (my last two were c/sections).
