40+2...next steps?

So I am two days overdue. I have an appointment tomorrow. I was just wondering what steps my doc will most likely take? If I'm dilated more (was 1-2 cm last week) could they send me to L&D? Or will she schedule an induction date? Just getting so anxious.

I know the feeling but try not to think bout it because ur mind will try to play tricks on you. Just stay calm and relax soon the babies will be here :)

Thank you and to you as well! Induction makes me nervous because in prenatal class they were explaining how it's considered "hard labour" because the contractions are so much stronger and more painful than going into labour naturally. I also would love to do it med free so I am a little paranoid about that.

Im 5 days over my baby girl is 8lbs 11oz they gave me an ultrasound on monday to check if shes fine which she is so then they gave me an inducion date which is Thursday. . I personally want a med free but I only get cramps :/ good luck.

I've just heard of so many ladies getting induced because the doc thinks their baby will become too big. It just worries me this doesn't even seem to be a concern to my doc. :/

She did a sweep last week so I am hoping I made some progress, but I haven't even had a contraction yet (well that I know of, anyhow). When she did the sweep I was achy for the rest of the day but the next day felt fine again. Just want this baby to come. He is apparently big too (8 1/2 to 9 pounds, they're thinking) so it's making me nervous having him in there longer.

May strip your membrane or something like that. Or give you something to soften your cervix
