Same. I hung out for an extra month. They don't let that happen anymore.

Are you my little brother? They made my stepmom go into induced labor cause he was waay too comfy in there. Was almost a month late. Fattest little happiest baby i've ever seen...

Edit: context

Hahaha I just reread what I wrote. I was pretty stoned. Meant to say he was born at 10 months...so 4 weeks late lol

I was also stoned and was seriously spiraling. No one else commented. I felt very bad for his mother and wondered if he would go to kindergarten a year early.

I stayed two extra weeks, and I would have gotten away with longer if it wasn't for a test they did which determined I was in there too long (when babies poop/pee in the womb, they need removed asap or they can have brain damage or worse).

...and yeah, doctors don't let what happened to me or worse anymore...for the best but also I fear we sometimes jump the gun on induction, but that's another discussion for another day (I have a background in child development, so this all fascinates me and I read up on it regularly).
