How long did you go overdue by with first baby?

[Trying4ababy]

I went 17 days overdue.

They wanted to induce at 10 days over and I refused, they said they'd let me go to 2 weeks overdue. I told them that I was absolutely refusing induction unless necessary and that I'd consent to monitoring.

Hello I have heard some stories about being induced - is it meant to be mega painful? I hope I won't be that long now xx

Contractions can be more painful and stronger when they use the drip. This is because they are caused by synthetic version of the hormone oxytocin which is pumped into you body via an IV at a rate decided by the doctor....where as in natural labour your body controls the level of oxytocin. Sometimes when the drip is used it can make the baby stressed because of the stronger contractions.

A lot of people believe that "they won't let you go over 42 weeks", which isn't true. NICE says that:

From 42 weeks, women who decline induction of labour should be offered increased antenatal
monitoring consisting of at least twice-weekly cardiotocography and ultrasound estimation of
maximum amniotic pool depth.

I don't know if it's meant to be major painful or not.

I just had the belief that the body knows when the time is right for baby to come and I wasn't going to mess with a natural process.

My sis in law was induced and had 22 hours of screaming labor.

I had maybe 5 hours of labor that I'd consider painful.

3 days by my scan dates, or 3 days early by my dates from ovulation.

1st scan due date - 2nd July
2nd scan due date - 30th June
My due date - 5th July

I delivered on the 16th July so 14-16 days overdue according to hospital, 11 days from my due date. Either way, my madam was a lazy little mare

41+5. I had two sweeps first one at 41+1 I think. It was really hard emotionally to go that overdue. But after having my little guy for over 1.5 years now, I can honestly say I don't remember the wait and there is no way that amount of time would upset me for baby #2 like it did for him. Hopefully the wait will be a distant memory for you very soon. Good luck!
