We went to the doctor for our weekly visit today, and there was no real exciting news. I'm still 2-3 centimeters dilated and 75% effaced, so although I've been having some contractions they really haven't made any progress which is a little disappointing. I sort of feel that if I'm going to go through the uncomfortable last few stages of being pregnant that I should at least get something to show for it. Our doctor did ask us if we wanted to schedule an induction, but we opted out hoping that he will just come on his own terms. The risks are lower if you go naturally, and I know the chances of delivering without an epidural are slim to none when you are induced because labor is much more intense. It also raises the risk for a c-section. So, as of now the doctor will allow me to go up to 2 weeks over-due as long as everything seems to be going just fine.
