So done with being pregnant

I’m 39 weeks today and so done with being pregnant. I’ve had no signs of labour and at my midwife appointment yesterday she said the baby was 2/5ths engaged, which is the same as two weeks ago. I’m a low risk pregnancy, so I don’t want to have an induction or sweep because this increases the likelihood of other issues and seems silly if it’s just because I’m fed up! But it’s super frustrating to feel like nothing is progressing. Any tips?

No tips, just support here. Today’s my due date and other than losing my plug last week, we have no labour signs either. This is my second baby too so I wasn’t expecting to go overdue! Pregnancy is exhausting and I’m so ready to be done 🤣

Read those positive affirmations, it's all mental. I've tried all the naturally inducing 'activities' that are told to us for the past 4 weeks and none of it has worked, I'm coming up to 42 weeks and still no baby.

I did acupuncture to bring on labour with my first and it worked within 24hrs. Went on to have a water birth which was bliss
