I was due 6/1 or 6/2 depending on how you read my chart and I am still here. I actually prefer the 6/2 due date now as it doesn't make me feel as bad. Physically I feel like I could hang on much longer. I am only 4'11", but I am not terribly uncomfortable. There is an end in sight as the drs will not let me go past Fri. I was at the dr yesterday and they scheduled me for an induction on Fri. I am not at all happy about it, but I understand that I chose a hospital birth and that they have to set limits. They have been great letting me go this far without giving me all the "you are putting your baby's life in danger" stuff. They offered me induction at 40wks with no pressure saying that usually they like to have their 2-vessel patients deliver by then, but when baby and fluid continued to check out great they said there was no reason. At 41 wks induction wasn't even mentioned except to say that I would have to be scheduled by 42wks. So, things could be much much worse for me, especially considering that the OB practice that I fled from in the middle of this pregnancy wanted to switch my due date to 5/24 and said they wouldn't let me go past 41wks
