I’m currently 42+1 day pregnant. Just waiting for natural spontaneous labor. Refused all inductions so far (though from 0 support from the whole OB team-instead just keep getting harassed) I understand policies are policies BUT the medical field does not give enough credit to mothers instinct or choice. It’s very sad. My baby is smart enough to pick her own birthday. My body was smart enough to conceive, and then grow a child beautifully; it is also smart enough to know when it is the right time to give birth.

Hey,... Pls tell me how delivery went. Currently 10 days past delivery day and very emotional and anxious

@@Lillykerubo01 Gave birth naturally (no medical induction) completely unmedicated birth!!! I went into labor after drinking the midwifes brew (lots of videos on that on KZbin) Delivered at 42+4weeks. Labored for 4 hrs and she was out in 4 pushes!! The nurses and doctors were shocked that baby girl did not have a single sign or symptom of being postterm. :) I know the waiting is SUPER HARD but hang in there. Your baby will come when she is ready! Due dates are not accurate & it’s totally okay to be overdue. This was my third baby & I had them all at 42 weeks +

Watching this now 41 weeks pregnant and looking for reassurance that I'm not the only one! The doctor pressure is intense, especially since I'm also 36 years old and considered a "geriatric" pregnancy!

[@SteffiLuuv]

How did it go for you? I’m also 36 years old and first time mom currently at 41+4 weeks, and my doctor wants to give me an induction in 4 days but I would rather wait!

[@mbalentlenonhlanhla9602]
