I went to the Doctor today and she said I still was only about 20% effaced and have not dilated and the baby is sky high! She said at this point she wanted to schedule an induction for the week after next (40 weeks!) She wanted to go ahead and get me on the books because they only schedule inductions on certain days. The only condition is that I have to have dilated and the baby has to drop before she will induce or she said it could be a really hard, long labor and put the baby into distress. So when I asked her "What if I don't dilate or drop by next week" she said we have to consider a few options. Because of the size of the baby she does not want me to go over my due date. So she said we can try to induce and know that we could end up with a c-section or electively just do a c-section. I said I did not want to go through a long, difficult labor and end up having a cesarean anyway. So next Friday will tell us what is going to happen. I just want to know either way to prepare myself. Of course they want you to try to deliver on your own but that just isn't going to happen in my case. She said at this point I should be having some cramping (contractions) and since I am not that tells her my body just isn't ready. By feeling the baby she thinks the baby is long, not necessarily chubby. And I agree because I feel and see his little legs pushing up against my side...it's definately getting cramped in there! Nick is 6'2 and my dad said he was 6' by the 4th grade!
