Or maybe he is just so comfy in there???

Went to my ob today, my official due date. No real progress at all. Dilated to 3, but still high and thick. She does not want to talk about inducing until we wait another week. She will do a NST next week and then we may talk about it then. It depends on if there is any progress or not. I am really hoping not to go the induction route.....

Guess that gives us another week to debate our name choices!

well, I don't know if it's true or not, but I have heard that if you eat a lot of pineapple and eggplant it helps things along! I know I tried the whole sex theory with my 2nd and it did not work at all, but I'll try the food this time around!

Aw, sorry to hear he's still being stubborn, Theresa! My midwives won't induce unless they absolutely have no choice, but they do agree with stripping the membranes (close to or after due date) and nipple stimulation (I know, I know LOL ... luckily, both my girls came on their due dates so far ... hope this one's just as punctual!). ;) Just some things you could try if you're still pregnant next week, before resorting to induction. Good luck! :)

Yah, I am not a fan of the inducing thing at all. I know she offered it with my first two, but there were actual medical reasons for it, and I still turned it down. This time, with an entirely NORMAL pregnancy (which has been great!!!) she really doesn't want to talk about it until its been 41 weeks and absolutely no progress. Stripping of the membranes has not worked for me in the past, so she doubts it will help this time, but we thought we'd give it a try. My DH keeps saying that he KNOWS that sex will make the baby come out.....just what I want to hear at this stage when I am so uncomfortable! LOL!
