    Hi
    I am 6 days overdue with my first baby (due 31st May) which is starting to make me anxious especially as I am an older expectant mum (39). I know it is normal to go over the due date but I am getting anxious as I just want everything to be ok. I appear relaxed to all my friends and family but inside I am not. I am due a membrane sweep on Friday 8th June will then be 8 days overdue and a bit nervous about it. I also hope I don't have to be induced.
    Can any one else relate to this?
    Thanks
    Rachel

    i went overdue & am too an older mum 37. they didn't do a sweep in the end as BP was high at checkup so was told to visit the hospital for assessment. went the following day. they decided to induce anyway. It is a little uncomfortable but you can be given Gas & Air i you ask. Don't worry you'll be fine. its just 1 day & it'll all be forgotten in a flash when baby delivered. At least if you're induced you're already be in the best place & there won't be a panic to get to the hospital in time etc etc & there's everything/everyone on hand if you need anything. Best of Luck to you X

    Hi
    I'm the same as you-38yrs old and baby (my first) was due on 5th June-due a sweep on the 12th-would rather do it all without that but if its got to be done!!!!! have tried all the old wives tales with no results.
    I'm the same as you-look ok on outside but having periods of anxiety on inside-had a good cry on Fri which did help me at least. Let me know how you've got on-am curious abot the sweep-if it doesn't work then I think I get another 2 days later!!! you may have had your baby by now and everything will seem completely different for you
    Good Luck
