We saw the doctor this afternoon (40 w 3 d along) and unfortunately I'm still 0 cm dilated - she's not budging! We had an ultrasound to check the amniotic fluid and placenta, and we got a "pass" on both so the doc feels comfortable letting me go another week (ugh!)
Because I haven't started dilating it wouldn't be a good idea for me to be induced at this point; an early induction would lead to a LONG labor, probably resulting in a c-section. That said, we are going back into the doc on Thursday for a stress test, and then on Monday we have another ultrasound. I'd be induced late Tuesday night (the 11th) if I haven't already gone into labor on my own.
I'm really hoping to be caught by surprise over the next few days, but I'm not getting my hopes up... clearly she's quite content in there!
