overdue......just want this baby out!

I'm now a couple of days overdue but just so ready to have this baby! She seems so stubborn, I'm literally trying EVERYTHING I don't think you can mention anything I haven't tried but nothing is working. I have braxton hicks contractions all day long but nothing that gets bad enough to go to the hospital. Getting really aggravated now and don't know what to do :-(

I'm in the UK so they don't check any of that until your in labour so I have no idea. I literally won't have any idea what's going on down there till a week over when they do the sweep....see why I'm so frustrated! I'm now 3 days over and really just wanna meet my baby!!!

Are you dilated or thinned out at all?

Well my first came 2 days after due date and the first thing we tried (sex) worked straight away so frustrating that with this little one nothing is working and I really would like her to come by herself. I'm in the UK so they don't really do very much, I won't even get a sweep until I'm a week over and apart from that my midwife just said and if that doesn't get it going then we'll induce you at 12 days over....so not very helpful at all.

I was induced 6 days overdue with my son and induced 11 days overdue with my daughter and I tried everything but castor oil to induce myself. My neighbor was induced at 44 weeks, which seems very questionable to me because you can have severe problems waiting that long, but luckily the baby turned out ok. I think some babies are just too comfy too leave.

So frustrating, I guess she'll just come when she's ready really andjust don't wanna end up being induced. So uncomfortable too, can't take much more...just wish she would come!
