Normal?

I'm a ftm and I was just wondering if any other mommies went over their due dates? Is it a bad thing or is it normal? I've tried walking, sitting on my birth ball, more walking..any advice/suggestions/stories any mommies are willing to share would be much appreciated I'm feeling really sad that my baby hasnt decided to come yet :(

Ftms can go 41-42 weeks. Also depends on the accuracy of the edd which is just an estimation. Baby will come when ready.

But try this since I think I saw that you're at 40 weeks already

I went to 42 weeks with both my daughter and son and had to be induced...it happens but they say post term babies are stronger and healthier so be proud!!!

My last 2 babies came after 40 weeks
My daughter was 41 and my son went to nearly 42 weeks I think I had 3 days to go till I was 42.
My midwife had me booked in to be induced but my body went into labour naturally.

Don't be scared
Babies come when they come and it's a normal thing to go over due date or be over 40 weeks and Alot of women have to be induced
All normal
