  Wow, 35 weeks?! It sounds like it couldn't have been a medical emergency then. That's crazy.
  I'm so glad your baby is still cooking - clearly your little girl wasn't/isn't ready and everything going so well since, makes you wonder what the hell they were thinking and what damage they could have done!
  
  Remember - it's your right to refuse an induction. Dates are not accurate.

  Yeah, it's sad because I really liked my dr but turns out she's not a good doctor haha. I have to go back on Monday for a membrane sweep because the placenta seems a bit old now, but I can tell my doctor is not really into induction either, which is nice! He just told me that if that doesn't work I'll have to go back on Thursday and if the placenta looks older it's time to discuss it.

  Wow @mers90 , that sounds like a great doctor! I have to battle my doctor with my wishes. We butt heads on some things, because I'm more of a, just let it be a natural process kind of girl. I'll be 40 weeks Saturday and I hope I go into labor before next doctor appointment Monday.

  I'm really happy with my doctor and the entire practice, he's really young, he graduated on 2011 and the practice started on 2012 so they're all in for humanised births and avoiding intervention as much as possible! The sad thing is that it's in another city! Haha but it's worth the ride there, I think it's the only place like that in Mexico! But all the doctors are so young that it looks like a medical school haha.

  My doctor is amazing. She told me today that my girls are practicing breathing already at 36 weeks. She said I could try to induce labor naturally if I want and they would be perfectly fine. But I told her that j was ok for 2 more weeks. My c section is scheduled for July 30th. She just laughed and said that was probably a good idea. But if they did come early it would be ok . She's amazing and laid back.

  My other doctor kept telling me that something was wrong, she tried to convince me that I had placenta accreta, then that it was failing. She had me in bed rest (I was only able to shower twice a week) for 14 weeks and then 7
  More in "moderate rest". When I finally got tiered a friend recommended this doctor and he told me it was so sad that there's doctors that still act as if being pregnant was a sickness, that she was exaggerating everything to scare me and make me have a c section! She even talked about removing my uterus!!! And told me that I couldn't have anymore children after this pregnancy ... It was all a lie!
