41 weeks and no sign of baby!

Is anyone else in week 41 now and still feeling generally good and comfortable and not as if baby is going to come soon?! Third baby and I’m starting to think I’ll be being induced soon 🤯😢

I'm 40 and 6 tomorrow and I'm feeling fine. Ive been told They'll discuss induction when it's 41 and 5. However, if they're not worried apparently they may leave it a little longer. This is what I was told. Hope that helps

Aw I’m glad it’s not just me, this pregnancy I’ve felt so good physically and still able to walk up hills and cover 6/7 miles a day some days. It feels like baby can’t possibly be nearly here if
I feel like this. Although oddly, today I’ve had zero energy and felt quite lethargic, maybe body is telling me something. Have you had a sweep? I had one at 40+5 and have another for 41+2. Think they like to book inductions for end of 41st week usually?

Just out of interest, when were your first two born?

I had a sweep on Saturday unplanned. She asked if I wanted it and I said, why the hell not; if it helps then great. It was so intrusive but it was good as she told me how dilated I was: 1cm.
If you're healthy without risk I think you may be discuss it further in terms of an induction. I have a home visit for a sweep tomorrow so I'll get an update on my dilation. I've not looked into being induced as i wanted to have a home birth - little quieter - but not freaking out about it before necessary.

36+2

I’m currently 36+2 and absolutely miserable. My OB has been telling me since 34 weeks that I’ll most likely deliver around 37 weeks, as baby keeps getting lower and lower every appointment. I’ll be 37 weeks on Monday next week.

I’ve developed carpal tunnel in both hands, it hurts to move, get up, walk; it hurts to do anything really. My last appointment (last Monday) I was dilated 2cm and 60% effaced. I’m absolutely miserable. My mental health is going downhill fast. How is everyone surviving?
