Seriously, why havent I had this kid yet!? It would be different if it felt like I was getting close or that something was actually happening... but nothing. No regular contractions, no painful contractions, nothing that would make me think that this baby has any intention of comming out! I REALLY dont want an induction. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow and thats when I get the NST done. And then we are going to schedule an induction for later in the week. My doctor wont let patients go much futher past 41 weeks. Looks like my plan for a natural birth is going out the window...

    Beyond needing to be induced you may very well still be able to go pain med free and end it naturally. When I was induced I only needed pitocin because my contractions dropped after having an epidural. The Cervadil I had jump started my contractions and sent me into labor itself.  I have also heard of women still going pain med free even after having pitocin itself.

    I was thinking the same thing myself!  I had a chat with baby this morning, but I'm pretty sure he/she is waiting to be evicted - which should be tomorrow, assuming I get a call saying the hospital has a bed for me.

    I also am not looking forward to induction, and I'm holding onto a faint hope that maybe I'll go into labor on my own today or tonight - wouldn't that be awesome :)

    However, I don't have as much hope for a pain med-free birth if I'm induced. I have heard that Pitocin causes contractions to be much more painful and closer together, and I'm kind of a wuss when it comes to pain, so I'm thinking I'll be begging for an epidural sooner rather than later if I need the Pitocin. Maybe I'll be like Allysun above and the Cervadil will do the trick??

    GL to you, OP!

    Had my OB appointment this morning, I've been 2 cm dialated and 50% effaced for a month now so we talked induction (I'm at 40w3d).. I have to call the hospital Thursday to see if they have a bed available, if so we'll go in late that night to start Cervadil.. Like the pp, I'm hoping that'll do what needs to be done so I can avoid the pitocin, but if it's necessary, they plan on doing that Friday morning. So.. The eviction date is set.. Maybe little man will decide to jump the gun. *crosses fingers*

    I know how you feel. I strongly do not want an induction but we are getting close to the point where my ob feels it will be safer for her if we induce. Obviously we will do anything to get her safely out.

    I don't feel "close" or anything yet either. Everyone asks me all day long, are we having a baby yet? I feel so frustrated cause all I can say  is no, nothing yet.

    I realized today that we are almost 10 months pregnant! Oy
