Pregnancy day 287...7 days overdue
Today I am one week overdue...well, technically since I am posting this on Sunday I'm 6 days overdue. I will be a full week overdue tomorrow on the 16th July. Despite being slightly bored during the week because I haven't wanted to make many plans, I am feeling well. Annoyingly I have caught a minor cold yet again and have some congestion, but otherwise everything is good.
I had my 40 week midwife appointment last Monday - the appointment was another normal check-up and all my measurements, etc were normal. I asked the midwife about what will happen now that my due date has come and gone. She said that I will come in for another check at 41 weeks (tomorrow) and I will be offered a membrane sweep. At my appointment I will also be booked in for a medical induction at the hospital, usually between 12-14 days after my due date. So tomorrow's appointment should be interesting, not least because I will get examined internally which should tell me whether or not my cervix is thinning out and moving in the right direction.
Today I have been having very mild period-like pains off and on, since about noon. They aren't regular at all and are very mild. I think if I weren't looking out for them, I would probably miss them completely, but I'm hoping that this is a positive sign. I can't quite believe that in a week or so I will get to meet my little boy!
