This picture and saying is worth reading and thinking about. My first child was 10 days past his due date. I was induced, and the induction went very well. My body was ready. I arrived at the hospital at 0700 and he was born at 4:20 pm. I even pushed for 3 hours. So, for a first baby and an induction this was incredibly fast!
I encourage everyone to ask their doctor to allow them to wait as long as possible before they induce. They can send you for daily NST 's to assure that your baby is still doing great inside of your uterus. Know your stuff, do your research and please don't induce because you are tired of being pregnant. Talk with your Midwife or OB. You need to be your own advocate.
There are Dr's that will induce you because you are whining, or because you can't sleep, or your are uncomfortable. Most doctors don't want you to wind up with a C-section, but MANY do not care. It truly isn't a big deal for them to "cut you". They get in and out within an hour. I know most woman trust their Doctor, and you should. But, ask questions, be patient, and although the end of pregnancy sucks, you will get through it.
Enjoy the last days of pregnancy, You will miss feeling that baby move inside of you. Relish that time.
