two days overdue!

I'm going crazy. I'm tired, eating everything...(just ate a waffle covered in icing) I just want my baby girl out so bad & my doctor won't even consider inducing until 41 weeks. I've tried sex, the ball, castor oil, pressure points, walking, pineapple, nothing is helping, I feel like she'll never be here & its crazy because 9 months ago I thought her due date would never come now its come & gone. ):

Hats exactly how I felt I was scheduled to be induced at 41 weeks... And that night when I went in... I actually started having contractions lost my plug and when I went admitted,  they gave me something to help me dilate a little faster.  With that,  my water broke and so began the very long process of labor.  After 20 1/2 hours I gave birth to my beautiful baby girl. I'm a first time mom and Oh my goodness was it a long time to go but it's definitely worth it.  Hang in there she will be here... Get your sleep now cuz she will rule your world when she's out.  Also the best advice I was given,  feed her about every 2-3 hours before she wakes on her own and starts screaming... If your a step ahead of her,  she will sleep more and cry less. Good luck mom!

Be patient. I was 40 plus 6 days and went into labor naturally. So much better than being induced. Try to let your body do what it's supposed too.  My midwife would have let me go to 42 weeks. She will come out. I promise! Enjoy your last few days and tie up loose ends. She'll be worth the wait!
