Im 38w 1d and went to the midwifes and my cervics is thinning out well and my mucus plug is mostly out, I plan to wait till 40 weeks but if I'm over most likely get induced, midwife says its not safe too leave baby in there too long after due date! But my husband and I are super anxious to meet our first child/ daughter(:

I am only 33w but I plan on letting my little man come when he does unless he keeps trying to come early than I will have the contractions stopped again. With my first I was induced at 42w 1d because the doctor didn't feel it was safe to let me go past that.

I'm 38+6. My dr said I'll be induced at 41 weeks if no baby by then. But, if I really wanna go natural, I can wait until 42 weeks but I have to be monitored like 3 times a week or something like that. And he does not advise going over 42 weeks. so we'll see!  Hopefully this baby bear will come on time.

I don't think I want to be induced or nothin like that. I want her to come naturally but I heard if you go over your 40 weeks too long it could be dangerous for baby, idk for sure if that's true that's just what I've heard from multiple people so if she is in there longer than 40 weeks I'll probably talk to my doc about bein induced even though I don't really want to but I don't want to do anything that could hurt the baby.
