40+2 weeks and getting depressed!

I am waiting for a call from the hospital for a date and time for an induction and I just feel like the call is never going to come. My blood pressure has been up and down and I am so swollen and just so tired and sore! I have to go in for a two part induction and since I'm not dilating it could end in a C section. I didn't want to be induced and I wanted a pain med free birth and now I might be looking at a C section. None of this has gone how I imagined it would and I am just so ready to have my little man here and no longer be pregnant! I guess I'm just feeling sorry for myself today. :(

    You could put off the induction until 42 weeks and I'll bet your body goes into labor naturally. I was 41 +3 by the time my body was ready and because I waited I had an intervention free birth. I was also feeling impatient, I had my cervix checked the day before and it was only one centimeter dilated, nine hours later after intense contractions I was at a ten and I pushed out my baby! My advice is if your blood pressure isn't an issue that requires induction, wait for your body to do it's thing and you'll have a smoother birthing process and can more likely stick to your plan.

    Without real medical necessity there is no reason to induce at 40wks, in fact that seems pretty early. I would ask to wait to give your body more time if there is no immediate danger. Your doctor may not be happy with you but it is your body!

    Yes I agree....give it until 42 weeks before inducing if possible. First babies arrive on average at 41+1.

    I'm at 40+1 weeks and I can't be induced till 41 so you may have more time. Don't stress that's not helping. No matter what you will have a sweet baby here soon :)

    I wanted a natural birth too but I was induced at 40w6d. I was upset for a few days about my doctor scheduling an induction, but as soon as my baby girl was here and healthy I really didn't care anymore. Hang in there.
