DS was born 41w2d...so 9 days late. My OB/GYN likes to induce at 41w. I was originally scheduled for induction at 41w0d and 2 hours before I was supposed to check-in they called saying I had to reschedule for the following morning as they had "an influx of laboring mothers". Worst. Day. Ever. My friend went into labor with her 1st at 40w6d and her 2nd at 41w2d. Both babies came on their own after her OB/GYN set an induction date lol. Maybe that will happen for you!

Well, i'm sure if i told my doctor I wanted to go past 41 weeks, it'd be different. But i have some other factors that make me a higher risk pregnancy towards the end that we've already discussed, so when my doctor says 41 weeks is pushing it, I'm rolling with it because I trust her that much.

I ended up going at 40+1 but I could have gone 42+ if I wanted!

My doctor started talking about induction at 41 weeks, but I held off and I'm so glad I did! I actually think what did the trick was a glass of wine and sex. I did 3 rounds of acupuncture induction, too, which I think helped things along. It makes me sad when people say their doctor won't let them do something. Just so you know, you don't have to do anything you don't want to do! Your doctor can't make you induce. It is YOUR choice. tororojo on "How late was your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-late-was-your-baby#post-682539 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:40:54 +0000 tororojo 682539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @blackbird: Castor oil can dehydrate you, so might not be ideal right before labor! tororojo on "How late was your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-late-was-your-baby#post-682534 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:40:00 +0000 tororojo 682534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I was induced at 40w4d and had her at 40w6d...so lots of time in L&D for me! ;) sslm on "How late was your baby?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-late-was-your-baby#post-682494 Mon, 01 Apr 2013 15:25:56 +0000 sslm 682494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ This thread gives me hope...
