I'm surprised they let you go that far over due. Here, if you are 5 days over they get right on inducing. They choose pitocin if you aren't dilated. I was at 4 cm with Dylan but 5 days overdue and they broke my water and off we went. 7 hours later a baby boy.
With Austin I was about the same and he just came likity split on his own big schedule. I had an appointment the next day and I bet they would have recommended induction then but he beat them to it. He was only three hours labor, I swear I almost had him in the car on the way to the hospital. You were one of my friends when he was born weren't you.
They really seems to drag it out here. Tomorrow they will use hormone gel in the first sweep to see if it can get things dilating, they will try this up to 3 times in 24 hours and if there is still no movement then they will let me rest for 24 and start it all over again!!!!
God I really hope that isn't the case, I am hoping the first sweep will start things off and we'll have a baby some time late Wednesday or early Thursday.
Please cross your fingers things will move quickly and not stall, otherwise we'll have 2 sets of parents sitting here waiting for news and nothing happening!
