Good luck my doctor is a *****, I feel like she's uncaring:( kinda too late to change her, I should of a long time ago instead of biting my tongue! She won't induce me until I'm already 40 weeks Regardless if my baby going to be too big or not, she said it's ok to rip, that it won't be as bad as my first where I couldn't walk for too weeks:(

The hospital I'm using has a strict policy to not let you go unless you are farther dilated, your water breaks or on or past your due date, I am scheduled to see my doctor tomorrow and I'm going to ask go be induced Monday on my due date

It honestly depends on the hospital. Some will admit you when you are 1 cm but contraction every 2 to 5 min. Some won't admit you till you you are 5cm. Talk to your doctor about it
