is anyone going to let their baby come naturally?

Every other post is about castor oil, primrose oil, sex, nipple stimulation,  and all kinds of other craziness.are there any women who believe to allow their baby to come on his/her own? Or at least trust your dr to take care of it? I understand we all get uncomfortable....but man....am I the only one?

I was asking for support from people who feel the same as me. I am not sure why you are ao offeneded. After re-reading my post, I am still unaware of which part could have been taken out of context to make anyone feel as if I am judging them. At the end of th day, I am a first time mother and I dont know what to expect. I am simply looking for encouragement or advice from anyone.....especially those who feel the same as me as I was not sure if I was making a bad decision. Once again, it was never my intention to make anyone feel as if they are being judged. I ask that you please refrain from further confrontation and accept my apology as I continue to ask for support from any mothers choosing to let the baby come naturally.  Or, if you have an educated and kind way of giving me your opposing opinion, I welcome that as well. God bless you all.

That's exactly what happen here! If your going to wait who cares! If someone else is not who cares! Is that any of your concern?

I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion and we are all adult enough to make our own decisions about our own pregnancy.  I was simply wondering if anyone else was going to wait naturally. I was gettinf overwhelmed with self induction posts....and thought maybe my thought process was wrong. I am a first time mom and I am entitled to ask for others opinions. I dont jump on anyone's post who chooses to self induce and ostracized her.....so why do it to me or any of the other ladies agreeing with me? This is not a right or wrong answer. If youre self inducing, thats amazing and I hope it works. If youre not like me....thats also amazing and I hope we get through it in a timely manner without too much pain. If you dont like a post or if you dont agree....move on to the next.

This is my 4th baby, 7th pregnancy. This one I'm not rushing.. Even though I have to use a catheter on myself at least 4 times a day at this point (something that is new with this pregnancy) and I've been in the hospital at least twice a month since week 12, plus all the other pregnancy pains and discomforts. I want her to stay put as long as possible because she is our last and the doctors and I have worked real hard to get me this far (34wks and 4 days today!).. With that said, I totally know all about just feeling "done" my first I went 42wks.. My second I was HUGE and in pain and uncomfortable. With both I tried natural ways to induce labor, so I'm not bashing it at all. My third I ended up being sent to the hospital and induced at 39wk because I was a loose 5cm dilated and with the distance between home and my hospital and my history of quick labor, we were all afraid I wouldn't get to the hospital. We all know our bodies, and if you feel you want to try  natural help things along, I say if your doc says you're good, do it :) I just won't be this time around lol.. Please ladies, I'm not trying to be rude by any means, but we are all adults here. Stop bashing each other, either way, n lets use this app for questions, NICE comments, and support each other through our pregnancies :) I wish you all the best through your pregnancies

I'm right there with you to. My other two came when they were ready. My first I had strep b so I had to be to drs early but my second I didn't so I got to stay home till my husband told me you need to go now or I'm starting the bath tub lol. I'm wondering if this one will be fast like the second. But every baby is different. And there not positive on the due date its just a guess. He will come when he is ready. He is safe in there right now lol
