I was the same and was 2 days from getting induced when I went into labour. I went to 41+2

Honestly just try to stop thinking about it. I swear stressing about when they might arrive impacts labour. If you can get out on some long walks, do some rocking on the ball. My LO came 2 days early however they wanted to induce me at 39weeks because he was measuring big and I had Gest diabetes. I rejected because I felt he was absolutely fine and in the end I had a very positive birth experience.

First baby arrived at 41+2 for me so there is still time. It’s really hard not to stress but I found switching off from everything (people kept asking if baby had arrived yet) that I relaxed more and this may have helped.

Waters broke at 41+2 and gave birth at 41+5.
Babies come when they’re ready.. the best thing you can do is try to relax and surrender to the fact babies choose their birthdays and due dates are just guesses x

My 2nd baby was 41+6 and my 3rd was 41+1. I personally wouldn’t consider induction before 42weeks and most people go into labour before that

I had no early signs of labour and then suddenly out the blue went into labour at 41 weeks last time x

Do things you love and that relax you! Get the oxytocin flowing 🥰 find your safe space and look inwards

Thank you so much it doesn’t help when I get bombarded every single day asking if I am okay and checking in I know they mean well but it does stress me out a little bit xx

My first baby I was 41+6 second baby 41+5. Had them both naturally, hang in there and hopefully your body will go into labour on its own. Good luck 🩵🩷
