Not really honestly. When I hit 39 weeks, I might just say yes to that, but so far, no.

My son was two weeks late. My main concern about being late is that the doctors get antsy and want to start inducing you and I have a huge fear of c section, so I don't want to be induced. It doesn't matter to me if that's illogical, it's what my brain thinks.

I was almost 2 weeks overdue with all the boys... This time due to my age we made the decision to induce at 39weeks. It was something that we really had to pro/con with... I am not excited about induction but even more not excited about the fact that at my age the chance of placenta issues and stillbirth is that much higher.
I have a total fear of c-section (not that I am against the procedure) so my doctor said we will make a plan to avoid it if at all possible. With my middle son I got to 3cm and then stalled so had to have pitocin to start labor again - it worked.

Since I'll be having a repeat c-section, nope.

I'm not too concerned about going over due because we are planning a home birth with a m/w so I won't be feeling the pressure to induce unless I get to 43 weeks.

I've never made it to 38 weeks so I'm curious to see! I won't be induced until 42, I'm sure, and I definitely don't see me going that far.

As things stand now, there is very little chance I will go overdue. The doctors are pushing for not only an induction...but now that the baby is breech, we are talking c-section instead 
If the baby flips on his own, I will be refusing the induction unless there is a medical reason or I am past 42 weeks.

If I make it to 39 weeks I am having a c section, but honestly I am throwing my own party if I make it that far.

Yes I am figuring I am going to be overdue at this point . But my dr won't let me go past 41.5/42 weeks. So at my 40 week appointment we will schedule the induction for the following week. So I only have about 3 weeks from today until we will be induced. I have been induced before and my body does well with pitocen so I don't worry about the risk of C-section.

Nope. I've never made it passed 38 weeks, because of pre-e. I'm afraid of going earlier than 36 weeks. (That's all I made it to with DD).

Nope, my c/s is scheduled for 39 weeks..honestly I'm worried (well, more anxious, not worried) about her coming before 39 weeks since with my son I went into natural labor at 39 weeks 1 day and "they say" that if you go into labor on your own naturally (my water broke on it's own too) that you are likely to go earlier and earlier with your subsequent pregnancies. So who knows!

I am not too concerned because I have not gone to my due date yet, so I think it is unlikely that I will make it to 42+ weeks. My latest baby came the day before his due date.
If I were to go past 42 weeks then I suppose I would probably start to think that I was going to be pregnant forever...lol I don't think that they would induce me because I am a VBAC momma so going over due would probably mean a c-section

Well, I've been induced early every time, so going overdue has never really been something I've had to deal with. lol
