I am due tomorrow and have no signs that this baby wants to come out now. I am so ready to be done. I do not want to do any home remedies for being overdue though. I just thought I would ask how long is it safe. I go back to the dr on the 3rd and hope that we will discusee induction. Thank you very much

Yeah, they won't let you go longer than 2 weeks over, most probably won't wait that long.
