I am currently 39 weeks and 6 days. I have a doctors appointment tomorrow to discuss induction because it doesn't look like this baby wants to come out. I'm only about 2 cm dilated and I'm not having contractions. Well I take that back. My stomach gets really hard and then relaxes and I've also had some cramping but that's it. No real contractions (only a few like a week ago) and no discharge. I had an ultrasound on Monday and the said a had a significant decrease in fluid but my water hasn't broken. It's at 7.1 cm and I've been reading up on low fluid and I think below 7 is what they consider to be "low". But they haven't done anything about it. I've also been back n forth to the hospital because the baby hasn't been moving like he should. Could it be because the fluid is on the verge of being low? What is going on? Why am I not having contractions? I tried walking, sex... nothing's working. What should I bring up at my doctor's appointment tomorrow? I need help.

from what you just said let them induce you sounds like baby needs to come out your due anyway so you should be ok
talk to your doctor but do what they advise the safety of your baby needs priority

Induce Induce Induce!!! As far along as you are, induction has very little chance of hurting anything, and waiting too long often ends in disaster. Good luck!

Def. talk to your doctor tom. If the nurses and docs at the hospital are not consernded then you have know worry just tell them you think something is really wrong!!!

Ask if they can induce you asap and what will happen if there is no fluid left..
