Going over 40 weeks

Hi all

39+3 went for a sweep today however couldn't go ahead due to my body not being ready I've decided to refuse any inductions as baby seems happy enough , I understand there's "increased risk" with IVF babies but what is the likelihood of me being able to go to 42 weeks + without needing an induction

NOTE I know labour can happen at any time and a closed high cervix today might not be the case tomorrow but just curious how far everyone has gone ?

Hello all

Currently 38+3, been a very smooth pregnant so far with little girl and I know she'll come whenever she is ready just curious to see how long everyone was in the "pre labour phase"

36 weeks started with the odd light pink streak in my discharge

37+6 lots of lightning crotch followed by a lot of discharge which was almost entirely pink. Then that evening I had lower back pain all night that eased off in the day.

38 +1 period pains during the night that eased off in the morning then some bright red blood when I went for a wee (only a few specs though nothing heavy)

38+2 back to pink streaks in my discharge and lower back ache through the night.

Everything has been mild and I don't believe I'm actually close to labour yet.

Did anyone have this for weeks leading up to due date ?
