[quote=khand]Ahh, the waiting game. I was certain of my due date and it came and went with absolutely no progress on my end. I kept plugging along, walking, doing yoga, SLEEPING, acupuncture and made no progress. My body just didn’t quite know how to get him out. I had a little anxiety but I think it was mainly from other people saying “you’re still pregnant” or calling/emailing and asking if I’d had the baby yet. Clearly, I hadn’t and I promised them I would let them know once he arrived. I stopped taking phone calls or returning emails at that point. I ended up being  induced at 41 weeks, 5 days as he was showing some signs of distress (and I wasn’t dilated at all) and ended up delivering vaginally the following day. (Labored about 24 hours without an epidural, once I stopped progressing from exhaustion, I got the epidural.) I am so happy that we waited as long as we did and looking back, it really was a special time…not without its ups and downs…but a time of great excitement and anticipation. Am not pregnant with #2 and wonder if he/she will be late. I sort of assume so but who knows? As long as the baby is okay and you are too, THERE IS NO RUSH! Several of our friends went into labor 4-6 weeks prior to their due dates and that is  much more concerning than being late. Good luck![/quote]
