Induction or Natural?

So...I had my 39 week appointment today and the doctor said that the baby is really low, which is a good sign, and that my cervix is very soft (a big change from last week). There is still no dilation though. 

My induction date is set for March 27th (my due date) were he is going to give me cerdivil first in hopes of getting my labor jump started, and if no progress is made then he will give me pitocin first thing Thursday morning, but he doesn't think the pitocin will even be necessary due to how soft my cervix already is.

I don't really feel like explaining the induction, but my doctor thinks that it is a good choice and that complications should NOT arise.

I am a little nervous, but also happy that I have an end date in mind.

 I STILL could go naturally within the next 7 days, so now it is just a waiting game of which will come first. 

Some are against this, but this is what is right for me and my family, and I have a huge weight lifted off of my shoulders right now. I felt stressed for days and now I finally feel hopeful again.

Wanted to share :) Pray I go within the next 7 days!

    I'm in sort of the same boat. I think I may end up agreeing to an induction due to the estimated size of our LO. Induction was so far off from what my birth 'plan' was, but now I think it's the right thing to do. Fingers crossed for all of us ladies on

    Good for you! Don't let anyone make you feel guilty about your choice. If induction is what's right for you, then do it! I am so tired of these sanctimonious women who try to belittle those who choose to induce either electively or medically. We are all m

    Good luck! I can imagine it would be a relief to have an end in sight.

    Like KellyAnne, I'm in a similar situation as well. I have an appointment tomorrow where we will be talking induction. My family physician thinks that we may be sent to the ho
