Well, I am getting induced on Mon at 8 a.m. Although I am anxious to meet my little man, and happy that the doctor isn't going to let him get too big, I am scared to death to be induced!! It goes against everything I believe about childbirth. I am an advocate for natural childbirth, I really think that it is better for the mom and the baby. Getting induced just seems so strange to me...forcing your body to do something it is not ready to do just doesn't seem healthy. BUT....I do realize that sometimes it is better for the baby to be born healthy than to let a pregnancy go on too long. On mon I will be 5 days past my due date, so I guess this is the best choice :( I still have 2 days before mon...so I am willing my body to naturally start on its own...

Oh no! I was in the same situation with boy #2. Overdue and facing a mandatory C section if I didn't start on my own since boy #1 ended up in a C section and they won't induce moms with past C sections. I was so stressed because I believe in natural childbirth too. The doctor stripped my membranes really, really, really vigorously and I started my own contractions within the hour. Have they tried that for you? Good luck Melissa! We'll be praying for you. Amber Bain
