UK mums that have been/are overdue??

Question

Hey!
So I'm not due until the 15th, but baby's head is not engaged. It's not down above pelvis. My son was born a week early and I remember him being engaged for a while before.
I've been booked in for a sweep at 40+6,  but I have the fear about going over. What's everyone's experience of going over? Anything yous would suggest to potentially speed things up?

Answer

I am feeling the same as you right now, also due 15th September, head been engaged for a couple of weeks tho. But this is the longest I have been pregnant due to both previous babies being born early. Scared to go late, especially now as there is a lot of stuff saying you should not go over 41wks.

Answer

I feel you. I’m due September 15 too, 2 cm dialated, 50% effaced but only negative three. I got a sweep Tuesday and nothing. I’m frustrated, for sure. This is my second as well.

Answer

I’m not from the UK but I’m currently 41+4 with baby #2! Rocking on the exercise ball helps baby engage as well as walking!
