For moms who delivered late

How many days past your due date did you have your DC?

Did they come on their own or were you induced?

If you were induced, how many hours were you in labor and did you end up with a c section?

ETA: One more question - for those whose DC came on their own - did you give up on the fact of them coming on their own bc I truly feel that the only way I will see this baby is induction. I wonder if everyone felt that way though.


TIA

Re: For moms who delivered late

10 days late (though I went into labor 8 days late)

I was not induced, I went into labor naturally.

eta: I was in labor for 45 hours, they broke my water and started pitocin when I wasn't progressing enough. I did not have a c-section.

to answer your new question, I did not want to be induced so as much as it felt like forever, I wanted to wait if possible. (my midwife probably would have pushed to induce at my next appt)

DD arrived on her own 8 days later

Re: For moms who delivered late

I had to be induced.
They started the induction at 6:30pm, had emergency c-section at 10:00 am the next morning. She was born 10:19

Re: For moms who delivered late

5 days late. No induction, no pitocin. He was just ready at that time

I was in pain and from about 9pm. I went to the hospital at 8am and had him at 1:25pm. I only pushed for 3 sets of contractions

Re: For moms who delivered late

Keep the stories coming. I like knowing what everyone else's experiences were like. It looks like once they are late they are very stubborn and take a LONG time to come out. I need to be prepared!

Re: For moms who delivered late

10 days past my due date. Acutally at 10:30pm on the 9th day my water broke and she came naturally. I had her on the 10th day. My labor was pretty average I think. I wouldn't say short but I wouldn't say long either. I had her at 9:13 the following morning so less than 12 hours from start to finish. And yes by then I had given up on the idea that she was coming out on her own. I was scheduled to go in to talk induction the following day but luckily my water broke the night before that

Re: For moms who delivered late

DS was 8 days late, but only one day afer the original due date (doc changed it 1/2 way through the pregnancy).

I was in "mild labor" I guess you can call it for a few days, then on day 8 I went into active labor. I ended up with a c/s.

Re: For moms who delivered late

my SIL had her FIFTH child yesterday, and she was LATE!

Only 2 days late, but you would think by 5, they're falling out.

How many days past your due date did you have your DC?

Did they come on their own or were you induced?

If you were induced, how many hours were you in labor and did you end up with a c section?

ETA: One more question - for those whose DC came on their own - did you give up on the fact of them coming on their own bc I truly feel that the only way I will see this baby is induction. I wonder if everyone felt that way though.

Annika
(I had a girl feeling )

Re: For moms who delivered late

I went into labor when I was 7 days late, he was born 8 days late. I was not induced. I ended up with a csection, but he was 9 7 and sunny side up, they didn't know what was going on, but I was not progressing at all for hours once I hit 8 cm, so ended up with a section.

Re: For moms who delivered late

How many days past your due date did you have your DC?
DS#1 - 7 days past dd
DS#2 - 3 days past dd

Did they come on their own or were you induced?
DS#1 - I went into labor the day before I was supposed to be induced. I was in labor for 21 hours.
DS#2 - I was induced

If you were induced, how many hours were you in labor and did you end up with a c section?
DS#2 - I got the pitocin at 11:30am and he was born at 5:21pm. I got an epi when they broke my water and only pushed for 15 min. So my labor was less than 6 hours.

Yes I gave up bc I scheduled the induction. I actually woke up the day before in labor. The night before I went into labor, I was planning on canceling the induction bc I started to loose my plug and was having irregular contractions. I was scared of induction at the time. But I did have a great induction with my second son.

Re: For moms who delivered late

9 days late!

They wanted to induce me, I didn't allow it, wanted this baby to come out when she was ready...
41 hours of labor later (not all of those hours were horrific labor-LOL!)..I wound up with a C-Section.

Re: For moms who delivered late

I was induced after 6 days. Labor was 6 hours for vd.

Re: For moms who delivered late

I was induced after being 6 days late. I was having small contractions when I went in for the induction so I needed very little pitocin, but I needed a ballon catheter to help me dilate. I went in on a Wednesday night and stayed over. I don't consider myself in labor until 8am when I was 4cm and the Dr. broke my water. Then the contractions started getting uncomfortable. I had an epidural at 5cm 11am. I was fully dilated and ready to push by 2:30pm. My son was bron vaginally a little after 4pm.

Re: For moms who delivered late
