Answer 1

Oh, boy. Seriously, do NOT let yourself get induced if there is nothing wrong with you or the baby. If you are long & thick and only 1 cm dilated, and you get induced, you are going to wind up with a C section.

41 or 42 weeks is NORMAL for a lot of women. Ask your mom & aunts how long they went -- it's a good way to gauge it. I have a friend who always goes 42 weeks and so do her sisters.

Evening primrose oil and Red raspberry tea MIGHT help soften your cervix. You can get either at a health food store, and you might be able to get them at large grocery stores. You want to check the tea label to make sure that it actually has red raspberry LEAVES in it, not just raspberry flavoring. Look for evening primrose oil with the vitamins. You can take 3 orally throughout the day and also crush one and put it next to your cervix right as you go to bed. Messy, but it can help.
