For those of you who read my wedding post, know my situation. I'm
hoping now I don't go over due. This is my first child.

I would recommend not getting your hopes up. A survey I did on this group
not too long ago seemed to verify a study that showed that around half of
first-time mothers go into labor on or after 41w1d if not induced before
then. This means that the majority of first-timers clearly go to or beyond
40 weeks.

How many of you went over due with your first?

Me.

And is so, were you induced?

Yes. Unnecessarily, IMO, at 41w4d. I wouldn't recommend it without a very
pressing medical reason.
