Little Eleanor has finally made it into the world after keeping me waiting until 41+3, just as stubborn as my first...
Unmedicated waterbirth, fast, intense, painful, no time to think or plan.
Contractions started, got to the hospital at 0230am, got in the bath, delivered at 0450am.
A healthy and chunky girl at 3.86 kgs/ 8.5 pounds β€οΈ
Best of luck to the mummas still waiting to deliver their beautiful bubbys

Wow congrats mama! Did u get sweep or induced before that?

I let my body do whatever it wanted, no sweeps, no induction, I didn't even really do any of the things to induce labour like eating dates or anything. 41+3 seems to be what my body wants haha

wowwwwww you are amazing !!!! π₯Ήπ₯Ήππππ»ππ»ππ»ππ»

Currently 41 now and still waiting π how late can I wait for baby to come out until left no choice but to induce? Getting so anxious now π₯Ή

How long you wait is definitely a discussion to have with your midwife and team!
In my case, I had a low risk pregnancy, and increased check ups after 41 weeks. I was birthing in a birthing centre not a hospital and they were happy to wait until 42 weeks before induction. Everywhere is different though!
I hope you're not kept waiting too long for your little bundle of joy!
