I know there are some other posts like this, but I wanted a detailed poll and couldn't find one. I think i have all the options that could be needed. And, yes, this is partly because I need to decide whether to schedule a c-section at 40w6d or 41w4d.
(P.S. I promise this will be one of my last annoying end of pregnancy posts.)

Naturally went into labor two days before my due date, had her the day before. But up until I woke up with contractions I had no indication it was coming (well, besides being a couple of days before my due date 
) My midwife never checked me so don't know if there was any dilating or whatever but I felt totally normal. Good luck!

My dr was going to do a membrane sweep at my 38 week appt but my water broke as soon as she started the check. DS was born early the next morning at 38+1.
Hoping you don't have to wait much longer!

I found this really helpful when I was pregnant last fime. Seems like if its safe and you can handle it waiting till after 41 weeks will up your odds. There are no guarantees though even if you go into labor on your own. My friend said we read that 8 days past due was when it peaks then it declines and this seems to corroborate with that. Good luck!!!

My water broke at 38 weeks and he was born the next morning.
Until labour started I had no signs of it and I hadn't had a check at the OB.
I hope this little dude decides to make an appearance soon.

Water broke at 40+4, she was born 40+6. I was induced after the water broke but I didn't go into labor.

Water broke at 40+6 & he arrived at exactly 41 weeks. Induction was scheduled for 41+1, but thankfully he decided to come on his own. Hope your little guy decides to come soon!

Ooops I picked naturally between 41+4 and 41+6, but he was *born* at 1am on 41+4. My water broke at 10pm on 41+2, and my labor started at 2am on 41+3. Sorry for the mistake.

Induced at 40 weeks exactly. Csection 14 hours later because I stalled at 4cm

41 weeks exactly. I would wait as long as you can! Sending you labor vibes!
I will say I think taking evening primrose oil helped if you are open to that.

@daniellemybelle: I've been using that since 37 weeks-ish. I'm soft and a little over halfway effaced, but no dilation or contractions to speak of.

Amniotic fluid leak on my due date. Baby was born via emergent c-section 30 hours later, so I delivered on 40+1.
