40 weeks tom. Afraid of induction.

Aside from being impatient I'm worried that my body won't do what it needs to go in labor... I don't want a c-section and just want so bad for this process to happen naturally! I've been walking a ton but my cervix is still closed with no signs of labor.

    Try bouncing on an exercise ball. Walking did nothing and the ball really got things moving for me.

    Best of luck

    I'm afraid of an induction too! 40+2 here. My doctor will let me go to 41+6 as long as my NST and fluid levels are good. Ask your doctor if they'll let you go that long, most women give birth before 42 weeks!

    We're in the same boat!! Due tomorrow with no signs that my body is going to pop this baby out any time soon. Dr has me set to go in on the 20th to start the induction.....I really don't want to go that route. Good luck momma, fingers crossed our bodies can get things going on their own!

    When I was pregnant with DD, I was devastated when I hit 40 weeks and my OB scheduled an induction for when I hit 41 weeks. We didn't make it to her induction, though, my water broke 3 days later! I did wind up with pitocin because contractions didn't increase naturally, but it all worked out.

    Here's to hoping you get the birth you want!

    I am in the same boat I've been crying everyday feeling like I'm a failure even though I know it's more about when she's ready. I was due on Thursday and she hasn't budged. When I was checked at the doctor on Wednesday I was not dilated at all and at -2 station and the doctor won't let me at least go to 41 weeks. He planned an induction for Tuesday, because it's so hard to get an appointment (I don't believe that) On top of that I feel pressure from my family to come on with a baby and there's nothing I can do. I've tried sex, castor oil (I didn't take the right amount), walking, bouncing on a ball and I've still got nothing. But I'm just going to trust that my baby girl knows what she's doing and it's going to be alright. I don't think I'm going to my induction appointment, my heart of hearts doesn't feel comfortable with going that route. We're going to be fine, I just know it!

    It's so hard to imagine being induced let alone making that kind of decision. I wouldn't want to cause any complications waiting too long but what if just one extra day baby decided to make its debut?! I guess it's part of being a mommy and making the safest choice. I hope you guys have successful deliveries and that babies arrive in good health!
