That's a ridiculous reason for a c section! They will use any excuse because it's more convenient and more $ for them! I was not dilated at all until I went in to labor with my first at 41+ 3 days with my first and yet I had her in under 4 hours. Labor is way too unpredictable for them to make that judgment. I would never allow that if I were you.

So ur really far effaced? If ur cervix stays closed there are couple things they can do for it like a few different shots I think or my doc used a balloon device that manually opened it up cuz I wasn't dilating
