[quote=Anonymous]FTM here who is trying to patiently wait for our DC!  I will be 42 weeks this weekend, and have been able to hold off on an induction until first thing Monday morning if monitoring tests continue to go well.  So this is partly a vent/whine...I am just getting tired of the comments, "you're STILL pregnant," and for some in the medical establishment looking at me like I am crazy for waiting until 42 weeks and wanting to see if baby will come on his/her own time.  I have had a great pregnancy thus far, and tests have all been very good - baby moving well, fluid level good, etc.  My body is making progress (dilation, effacement, station) at each appointment, it is just slow.  I am confident that if I need to be induced sooner my provider will do that, but I feel like my husband and I are among very few who are not anxious.  I am enjoying this time to myself and getting out and doing things.

If anyone has positive stories, encouragement from your own postdate experiences, would be happy to hear them![/quote]
