Have sex ๐ - but also try not to stress babies usually come 40+ weeks for FTM. My guy broke his water right at 40 weeks. 41 weeks is super common for FtM

I got to 41 weeks and we were talking about being induced the following weekend because nothing was happening. The same day my water broke! It sometimes happens when you least expect it.

I am a FTM and felt the exact same way! I was 40 + 2 and legit felt like he was never going to come out, it was becoming so defeating mentally and I was also scared to be induced ๐ but before you know it my mucous plug broke and then labor progressed swiftly from there! FTMโs usually go later. Go for a light walk, sit on a work out ball, rest, rest, rest! You are going to need it. It will happen naturally! ๐โค๏ธ

I had no signs of labor AT ALL. Then 2 days before my due date, at 5am my water broke, gushed all over the couch. It was PROM labor and was only 4cm dilated 12h later, so I did end up getting pitocin to progress labor faster. Baby was born at 3:31am. ๐ leading up to my water breaking, I had been cleaning my house a lot, climbing up and down chairs to reach high places. That maybe contributed... maybe not. But you dont HAVE to get induced unless there is something wrong with you and baby. Many women are pregnant 42w before going into labor.
