HELP! please!!

Please help! My doc wont induce me at all. Not even on my due date! Im concerned because my first was a big baby and it looks to be the same with this baby as well. Size is def a concern because Iam a petite size at 4'11. I also suffer from migraines that I vomit and black out from. What are ways to help move things along. I am 1cm dilated and 30 percent thinned. Please help!!

My sister in law had the same problem. She went to a different doc and they induced her that same week. Maybe call around and see what another doctor would do. I know it's hard because you've been with this one the whole pregnancy but it sounds like it would be best for you and your baby. Good luck.

Im not trying to even hit 41 weeks. I know they wont let me past 42 weeks. Im not trying ro go past due to weight and also because of my migraine.  If I blacked out from one of my migraines and fell on my stomache and hurt him. I could never forgive myself. My doc doesnt seem to care so im trying self inducing.
