Anyone else calm down after due date passed?

Question

So, for the last two or three weeks I️ have been on edge about when this baby is going to come. Analyzing every twinge my body makes and thinking “maybe this is I️t”. However, since my due date passed (November 22) I have completely calmed down about I️t. Maybe I’m in denial. Or maybe it’s because I️ know I’m going schedule an induction on Monday when I go to the doctor. I️ don’t know what I️t is, but I’m all of a sudden not consumed with “maybe today is the day” thoughts and just living life. 
Anyone else experience this?

Answer

SAME! I could of written it myself! Now that I’m past my due date, I’m like just relax and enjoy the quiet before the baby! Maybe I’ll even have a December baby! ❄️

Answer

I'm due the 29th and have been like that the whole time. What's the rush? Now that I'm done with work, I've been relaxing, watching movies and enjoying these last few quiet days

Answer

I gave up on trying everything to induce labor on 39W+6D. I told my husband that night that I wasn’t going to do anything, just sit on the couch bc baby would come when she decided it’s time no matter what I tried. Turns out, I went into labor the next day 😂

Answer

I am feeling the opposite! I was hoping it would happen last week but was pretty calm because I knew the due date was still coming up. Now that it's passed I'm so anxious! I hate not having a plan, at least before I had a hypothetical plan, but now it's all up in the air!
We're going to talk about a possible induction at our appointment on Monday too. I'm just not sure yet if I want to do it. 🙊

Answer

Same here! I was due Nov 24th. Induction was scheduled at my last OB visit for it to happen on the 30th. I was so hoping that the baby would come before the holidays ended. But now it’s getting close to the “eviction day”, I kinda feel the labor won’t start on its own for me this time. That makes me more relaxed somehow!

Answer

I was very up tight and on edge before my due date. I was due 11/22 and couldn’t wait for him to get here. It was driving me crazy. On my due day I decided to relax and calm down. Baby boy came the next day 11/23. 👌

Answer

I did.  It helped knowing the final end date (induction) and I'd given up on going into labour naturally
