It was my first... i was 41 weeks 4 days...here its standard to induce at 10 days over due... because i got bumped(they were really busy) i went for a non stress test and an US to make sure it was safe to wait another day... and then i almost didnt get induced the 11th day as it was Canada Day and they were super busy! so at 830pm i got cervadil inserted...
how far were you on your first?
I didnt progress on my own at all... i was induced in the evening on 11 days over(supposed to be at 10 days but got bumped)
They are thinking of changing full term from 40 weeks to 42 weeks for first time moms because they usually go over. If you haven't delivered by. The end of 41 weeks they will probably induce. Just have faithful though that once baby is ready you WILL go into labor. With my first I was barely 1 cm dilated and not effaced at all and I went into labor and had her 12 hours later. With my second I was 3 cm and 90% effaced for months before I delivered. It doesn't really matter how dilated or effaced you are, either way you will go into labor when you are supposed to.
