it is, I was induced the day after my due date and it didn't look like I'd be going on my own any time soon(was only a fingertip dialated for 3 weeks)! I opted to induce so that my dd wouldn't be born on my niece's bday! this time around I'm due july 31st but am expecting an august baby because i don't want to induce this time! I'm hoping to go into labor on my own but theres no telling....
well i dont know i know some who have and some who have gone early i guess it all depends. I went over a week with my frist and ended up being induced my second i was induced on my due date and my third i was induced two weeks early do to some issues i was having so i have never gone into labor on my own. kind of hoping that maybe with number four i will but i am almost already planning on being induced again it seems to be a pattern with me lol
I can see that, i know your cervix is completely closed if you've never had kids and once you've had one it stays a little opened. I don't know for sure, i went over with both my kids and ended up getting induced so i guess i can expect the same for this next one.
