I have been 3 cm dilated for weeks now and my plug came out 3 weeks ago as of yesterday. I am 80% effaced and my baby is at -1 station. I am 39 weeks and 3 days.
The doctor said since I have 3 children already and am showing signs of being ready, he would induce after 40 weeks but I really don't want to be induced.
My ultrasound and my measurements both match my last period date so I am 100% sure my due date is right.
My question is...are most babies born by 40 weeks when the due date is right or I am really looking at being induced? I read that with correct due date the chance of going over 40 weeks is like 2%
I am not willing to try castor oil or anything crazy. We can't have sex because it's not comfortable and I have been walking as much as I can stand.
Also would like to add that I have 3 girls (this is a boy) and I have never carried past the 38th week. Always been induced because I was 3-5 cm with no contractions..stalled labor etc.
