I say 'exact'
as that is how it's perceived by medical profession. plus scan agreed with it, but scan was in states, and uk midwife decided not to trust it. not sure why, but have decided not to arge.
and 40+3 weeks since period (why am I giving this information out on t'internets?!)

If you're 40+3 they should induce
Bastards.

I'm presuming you are giving the info out because you trust us implicitly and know that we are all mature adults here.

p.s. try to poo before you go to hospital! Pooooooo ahahaha

no
standard policy is to wait until term +10 or 12 in most NHS trusts - so it's not that unusual to have to wait!
but I did try and look very pathetic at the midwife this morning in the hope she could change hospital policy - it didn't work...

When you say +10 or 12 I presume your talking days rather than weeks
In which case My original statement of inducing by 2 weeks over still stands. Unless they've changed it in the last 18 months since my daughter was born.
