    Yes my son was late, Dr gave me EDD of 11 June, I thought it was around 15th but I was induced on 19th and actually had him on 20th. He was 10lb so as babies grow quite a bit after the 40 weeks I think I was around 9 days or so late.

    Good luck.

    YES!! I DID!!

    I know how frustratinggggg it really is. Its like your on guard everyday! I gave up in the end and knew my son wasn't ever going to leave! I didn't ever get braxton hicks until I was around 40 weeks. Then they would come and my belly would get all tight then nothing. LOL. No other signs at all.

    I ended up having 2 (unsuccessful) sweeps one at 40 weeks then other at 41. Needless to say I never went into labour naturally. I was induced at 12 days overdue and delivered at 13.

    I went to 41 weeks exactly with my first, and 41 weeks and 3 days with the second. No one told me until it was too late (I was already 38 weeks) but apparently the more over weight you are, the more likely that you will be overdue. And the more likely you will be to have other issues with the pregnancy and birth like high blood pressure, diabtetes, needing a C section etc. For some reason they dont mention this to women! They should. I was 200lbs when I conceived the first one and got up to 220lbs by the time I gave birth, and was 220lbs when I conceived the second and was 235lbs when I gave birth to her. And it was definitely harder being fatter!

    I went five days past my due date, my body just didn't want to go into labor. My water finally broke but no dilation so I had to be induced. My doctor didn't think that would work but it did. Hang in there you will be holding your little one soon and it is all worth it.

    I went a week overdue! No fun at all! I know that having sex with your partner can help bring on labour and walking! good luck

    It is very strange. You probably have a alien baby inside you and they can take as long as 50 weeks to develop. You should rush to the doctors immediately.
