I am 39+4 weeks and no signs of labor… Dilated by 2 cms and effaced 50%.

Due on Sep 25 and the doctor has asked if I would like to be induced after my due date .. I am not sure if I should be induced or should I wait till week 41 and then plan on being induced? Thoughts and suggestions are welcome !

I would wait till 41 weeks and then be induced. Nothing hurts by waiting a little

I would wait. I was only 1 cm dilated and 0% effaced. Two days later I had him.

Went to the birth center with contractions and was 1 cm and 80% effaced. Came back 3 hours later and was 4 cm dilated and he was born another 3 hours after that.

Dilation can happen quickly. It isn’t a true indication of how much longer you have to go so try not to stress over being 2 cm. Let your body rest. Baby will come soon enough! 💕💕

It would depend on age and risk factors for me. When I was under 35 and low risk I waited longer (40weeks +3).

I'm also due Sept 25 and while my hospital isn't allowing elective Induction, I if I had the option to I'd hold it off until after 40 weeks!

I’m due the day before you and I struggled with this a lot. I go to the doctor Thursday and I think I’m going to schedule an induction for next week. I’m worried something might happen to him but I know quite a few women who’s baby passed away when they were 38/39 weeks and it’s making me really anxious

Hospital bag!

I’m due on the 7th of November and still haven’t packed my hospital bag. When should I get this sorted? And what do I need? What are things I definitely need to pack that I will definitely forget to pack if it’s not on my list???

Induction vs C Section

Hi ladies, was wondering is anyone thinking about booking in a c section over an induction if they went past 41 weeks? Appreciate people’s thoughts and any past experiences!

Ideas on how to announce Pregnancy

Hi everyone,

I wanted to do a cute little arrangement rather than just saying when I announce to family members, does anyone have any ideas on what to do? I’m thinking a box with some baby items ☺️

Another one?

It happened.

After my c-section I laid in that hospital and I said NEVER AGAIN. I’m never going through the experience of birth (c-section or vaginal) EVER AGAIN.

I told my husband “sorry babe, after this I am one and done. I can’t do this type of trauma and pain ever again”.

My boy is 3 months old now, I looked at his adorable little face… and said

“Shit I want another”.

Hope all the June mamas are hangin in!

😂❤️
