Hi All

I am currently 41+2 and booked for induction at 42 weeks.... Is this usual as most tings I am reading on her are re induction at 10 days overdue rather than 14?

Thks, Mel

Hi Mel

Its between 10-14 days! I guess it varies between hospitals?

Joo xxx

Hello x I'm booked in at 12 but I think thats because 14 days falls on a sunday...... x

Just starting to panic about leaving it till 14 days and if this is safe - what if it still taks several datys after that - is that safe?! I'm such a worrier at the mo!!! x x

once they start to induce you they keep you in x I've been told to keep a kick chart up to my induction date and if I am at all concerned to call to go in x

thats a good idea - i do have a final mw appt on tuesday...... think i'm just being a stress head today!! x

I keep being I think its natural - I feel like I am the only person in the world who has been pregnant this long - and I know that thats rubbish!!

I keep having mini stresses about this and that but the Kick chart is helping as it forces me to realise everything is fine!

Just hoping he comes along soon, starting to realise that im wasting maternity leave when babys not here yet.

My MW wouldnt give me another appointment so from last tuesday to next friday im not seeing anyone! - which is slightly scary I did ask if i could get another sweep at a bit more past my due date - but they said no x

Its so true - think I need to write mysellf a list of "what to stress about next"!!! And I swear most of it is down to having too much time on my hnads!! Will start a kick chart to ease my mind. I think the only reason I have been given another check up is due to some health probs our baby has so they are just being cautious over her heart rate - doubt i will get offered another sweep.
I know what you mean about feeling it is a waste of mat leave - its sooooo frustrating!!! x

And another thing that doesn't seem fair is that I didn't have any streatch marks till 39 weeks and now they are doubling by the day - hurry up baby!!!!
