Might be induced next week!! eeeeeeek

sooo... i had my 39 week checkup today, and i was hoping for better news considering my doc told me last week that i could go into labour at any time. he said things look great, baby is ready...but my cervix needs to soften. booooo
he also said that if i dont go into labour before monday... then i go see him again on tuesday, and we set a date to induce. my due date is wednesday next week... and he doesnt want me to go too far over that because with my first child i was 10 days over due... and she was 9lbs 1 oz, so he said he wants to take it easy on me.... lol . what a guy!

You will be fine i am sure... you are in capable hands... As for me they will see me on the 23rd sep if no labour yet they will consider s-section! the consultant said because the baby measured just over 4kg at 37 weeks inducing me after my due date can be a risk as the shoulders ay get stuck! im hopping i go to labour before the 23!

wow i'm so excited for you! don't worry i'm sure your doctor has the best intentions in mind but i DO hope you go into labor naturally. induction i hear hurts like heck! that was the plan for me but i actually went into labor the night i was supposed to be induced. they hooked me up to the machine and noticed i was having contractions so they never did anything but let me lay there in labor. i hope all goes smoothly and let me know how you do! good luck!!!!
