Anyone else overdue? 😅

Due date was 29th May and baby was a no show. I had a sweep the same day but still nothing, and going for a second sweep tomorrow afternoon. My midwife has booked me for an induction which she said will be sometime between Thurs and Sun this week - just waiting for hospital to call with a date. I was planning to avoid an induction but have developed a horrible pregnancy rash over most of my body and getting really fed up and uncomfortable.

Anyone else in a similar boat? Or anyone have any positive induction stories? This is my second baby (first was 3 weeks early!)…

I will be as of tomorrow...
But I was booked in for an induction may 28th unfortunately it didn't work and we're now on cycle 2, again doesn't seem to be working. We've now accepted baby will just come when she's ready. The inductions so far haven't been bad, some bits have been uncomfortable but overall nothing awful.

Due date was 30th May, just had my 3rd sweep today- all successful with low thin cervix, currently 3cm dilated but baby is comfy. Fingers crossed contractions start otherwise an induction will be booked after Friday. He just wants to be a June baby I guess!

Same! Due date was 31st and i’ve also got that horrid pregnancy rash!! this is my first and also really didn’t want to be induced so hoping he comes this week 🙃

Due date was 30th and had one sweep at 39+4 but no signs of labour. I'm having the next sweep tomorrow and will likely book an induction at 42 weeks which I really want to avoid 😐 I've been on the ball most of the day, walking, drinking raspberry leaf tea, eating dates and nothing so far 😭
