Due date change at post-term biophysical?

[josh_2415]

So...crazy story. Has anyone else ever experienced anything like this???

I'm planning a homebirth. I've had my midwife visit at home, and I've had backup/parallel care with an OBGYN. My due date was October 18, so my midwife scheduled an ultrasound and non stress test since I was a week and a half late. Baby looked fine and the ultrasound was great.

BUT, at the end of the visit, an OB came in and said after my anatomy ultrasound in June, the OB office moved my due date from Oct. 18 to Oct. 28...and forgot to tell me or my midwife...so suddenly I went from being 11 days overdue to only 1 day overdue. Craaazy.

I have mixed feelings. I'm super glad that bubs has more time to make his aappearance before they start pressuring for a hospital induction (my first was induced at 42.4 weeks). But I really wish we'd known sooner so I hadn't been thinking I could go into labor at any moment. Lol PLUS I've been taking work off...so this means I took an extra 1 1/2 weeks with no pay.

Try some squats but don't do to many that you tire yourself out x

Well as your classed as full term ask your midwife if you can start trying to induce labour naturally. For eg. Sex, walking and all things like that. Good luck to you it must suck being told that you have to wait longer x

The OB offered a membrane sweep today but I wasn't dilated enough. Ah, well.
