Induced?

Hi Ladies. I'm due June 2nd recently got checked and I'm only dilated to one. I don't feel any signs that my baby girl will come before or on her due date. Can I choose when I want to be induced. I heard some doctors make you wait till 41w and some 42w. I realllllllly don't want to wait until 42w though.

The doctors who wait until 42 weeks is because most likely you will go into labor before that. But you should talk to your doctor because some do it at 39 weeks. I personally don't think it should be done before 41+3 but that's just me. If I have to I will wait 10-11 days after my due date. The further along the more ready baby should be. And being in a different position will help with the bigger baby. I have info on that in my journals.
