40 weeks due date today

If I make it til next Tuesday, I'll have to plan my day for induction. I really don't feel like he's coming anytime soon. I'm 1cm and 70% at 0 station. I know none of that matters and just sort of bummed cuz I want to have him naturally and I feel like if I have to induce, I have less of a chance of that :( I really am scared of having to have an emergency C-section.. I am really hoping he comes on his own, though no signs of it yet!! Anybody else in the same boat?

I feel you. I'm due today too!!!
No bub yet... I can almost guaranteed not to come on the actual EDD.....

HOPEFULLY.. bub will come. I'm refusing induction unless baby is in trouble. My first was two weeks over....

C section is my ultimate fear.. nooooo...

Are you having any contractions?

I'm due 5/20 FTM and I've been 1cm for the past month. I'm hoping he comes on his own as well , as I am terrified of c section and do not want to be induced.

No contractions at all :( doc says they will give me til next tuesday before we have a serious talk about induction. I really don't want to have to resort to induction but my hospital won't let me wait til 42 weeks and I am pretty miserable with PUPPS and heartburn. Not miserable enough to induce before the 21st though!

I feel you, DD was today and I don't think baby is coming anytime soon we get to talk induction on the 19th if baby hasn't come yet. Dr appt is Thursday hopefully we have progressed some. Walking hasn't helped, tried spicy food, I just think baby isn't ready. Hoping we can have our babies naturally and soon.
