When I went overdue I was going to be induced at 42 weeks. They tend to do unless there is a specific reason to induce before that point. I dont think its anything to do with xmas. However, I started on my own at 41 weeks....though it was a little more complicated in my case than that. But you do have time for it to happen for you before than x
I was due 14th dec and went in to be induced on the 26th
They usually leave u 42 weeks as standard...I got an induce date but my son came naturally 5 days later. Unfortunately its a waiting game and yep its quite frustrating. Gd luck x
I think all hospitals are different. I was booked in for induction for 12 days overdue but thankfully LO came the day before! I think they can leave you upto 14 days. I think the wait after 40 weeks is horrible I feel for you!
I was booked in to be induced 12 days after my due date (14 days would have been a Sunday which I think the midwife was trying to avoid). I was fortunate that my little man decided to come along in the early hours on the induction day
Good luck and I hope all works out well for you xx
Think the ladies are right....as I never actually ended officially booked in for induction. Think it would have been 12 days overdue to allow your body time to deliver by the 14 days if possible x
With my first child I was induced, they did this on the 10th day overdue x
