Sorry about your FIL, REM :(

:hugs: Also sorry about your Gran, GF.

Just got back from my Doc's appointment and I :cry:the whole way home.

apparently my cervix is soft but it's still really high up. the doctor said she's "in no hurry" so i dont think he thinks she's coming out. He wanted to book an induction for next tues but I asked if she could have a couple more days because at that point I'll only be just over 41 weeks and he said we could do next friday, so I agreed to that.
Now im worried that the same thing is going to happen to me that happened to Patch :cry: I want to give her a chance to come out on her own but I'm worried that she's at risk being in there. I know I won't even be at 42 weeks yet next friday so it's not that long... but still, I just can't help but feel like I'm tempting fate.
They'll check on her on this coming friday's ultrasound and if they see anything they don't like i'll have to stay in and have her that day.

I'm trying to decide if I should phone back and get that Tuesday induction date. :nope: The Doctor didn't seem concerned about letting her go until next Friday, just warned me about watching movements.

I just really want her to come out on her own.

What would you ladies do?

My first was 13 days overdue, induced at 12 days over. My second was 8 days over and "in distress" so I was induced, my 3rd was 14 days over and they wanted to induce but I convinced them to let me have just one more day and labor started that night. My 4th was 5 days over when waters broke (induction no contractions) and my 5th was 13 days over when my waters broke (induction no contractions) My 5th was in distress so the had me pushing at 7 cm to get him out while the doctor manually opened my cervix. He then scolded me for insisting on not being induced 6 days earlier. Now I am 42 and my risks of still birth are greater than when I was not quite 24 with number 3. I myself will accept induction, even though I HATE IT, because I am terrified that something will happen to my baby.
Take into consideration your age, if you're older I would definitely do the induction Tuesday. Just my opinion though.

Thanks for this. It's good to hear that you were induced all those times and have healthy babies. I'm 25 and all has been well so far... I'm leaning towards trying to change to Tuesday... I've just freaked myself out with way too much reading and research on the risks of induction vs. natural birth.
 
Congratulations Claire :)

I'll be 40+7 or 41 weeks tomorrow however you decide to do it :lol: I have a sweep booked for 1pm so fingers crossed that gets him going :shrug: I should also get a date for my induction at 42 weeks :)
