8 days

I have 8 days left and it seems unreal... Do contractions just suddenly hit or do they gradually come on? I'm so nervous

You can refuse induction. Unless it's medically indicated for some reason (a week plus overdue, preeclampsia, gd, etc) you do not have to induce.

I'm not high risk but she said I would be safe getting induced by then.  And sorta pushed me towards it.

Why will your doctor induce if she's not here by your due date? That seems a little crazy to me. Are you high risk for some reason?

Look At It In A Positive Way Tho. At Least If U Get Induced U Know Your Doctor Will Be There To Deliver And U Wong Be Faced With An On Call Doctor That U Arnt Used To. I Didn't Want To Be Induced With My First Little Girl But IM Glad I Did. I Hope That I Will Make It To Be Induced This Time As Well (35+6). Good Luck ladies

Me either! I have no signs of anything hoping she comes before my due date or dr will induce. I'm getting so anxious and scared.
