Hey that's my due date too! My best friend said she did some workouts like high knees and walking, bouncing on a yoga ball. Stuff like that.

Had my baby at 41+1 and if I did go to 42 weeks I would have to see a doctor every 3 days. I know a couple of people that didn't have baby until 43-46 weeks later. Our bodies were ment to provide for our children. until our body can no longer provide for them then that is when you will go into labor.

I'm a first time mother, my little man dropped at 35 weeks, I'm now 38 weeks and 4 days, 2cm dilated, 50% effaced and they said he is perfectly healthy. Normally the doctors don't let you reach 42 weeks without inducing you and that's with a 100% healthy pregnancy. It just all varies on when your baby wants to make his/her arrival. The doctors won't let anything happen to you or your baby, even if you go over.
