Ok so i have 3 days until my due date, i was told if i dont go into labor by my next appt ill be induced. I have no signs of anything. The last few ive just had severe headaches, and he's slowed down alot. So please pray,and cross your fingers i pop soon
My doctor will no let me go passed 41 weeks. I dont know why, but she said if i dont go on my own by thursday, that i will have a date scheduled.
Quoting Larsbug:why did they tell you that they need to induce you? technically you can go to 42 weeks... is there a medical reason?
hmm...I can't help. I never dialated either, I ended up with 2 c-sections. Good luck though!

No need to rush into an induction, if you don't want to do it DONT, BUT with the headaches and the baby slowing down I would opt for some extra monitoring instead (a u/s and deff a blood pressure test for you).

So you never got a reason why? You do realise that the choice is up to you?
Normal human gestation is 28-42 weeks so you are nowhere near that

Crap i meant 38-42 weeks (typo), if you dont agree then you shouldnt do it, its your body and your choice! Anyway good luck with your next appointment
Quoting momsince04:
No but, I go on Thursday so I will ask my doctor then. I saw a different doctor last week and it was the first time meeting her. I didn't agree with the plan to be induced.

Throughout the world, there exists a group of women who feel mightily drawn to giving care to women in childbirth. At the same time maternal and independent, responsive to a mother's needs, yet accepting full responsibility as her attendant; such women are natural midwives. Without the presence and acceptance of the midwife, obstetrics becomes aggressive, technical, and inhuman.

How did you keep your pregnancy a secret?
Boy names, can't decide!
