Question

Okay so I'm technically 36 weeks 2 days, my due date is November 21st, but I'm being induced at 39 weeks so November 14th, yesterday I was 2 cm dilated and also did a growth scan due to my first baby being big, anywho he is weighing in at 8lbs 6oz, with still 2 and half weeks to go because the hospital will not take me a day before 39 weeks so they are calculating him being over 9 1/2 pounds, which is okay my first son was 9lbs, but then they threw a wrench in my chain, they said I might have to just opt for the c-section because he could break his collar bone or I could have a 4th degree tear, which I do NOT want to just opt for a c section but I want to do what's best for him, anyone have any experience with this?

One more thing...any success stories on bouncing on a yoga ball that you actually went into labor? I personally don't believe any of the self inducing works I believe they come when they come but I've been bouncing like crazy with my fingers crossed!

Answer

Hopefully they're a little off and baby may not be that big.  I don't have experience with a big baby as my first was 6.14.  Although my scan yesterday can out that my daughter is already 7lbs which is bigger...I'm due November 22!  I'm already 2cm and 50% so I think she'll come soon.  With my first I was 2.5cm and 80% and did some natural self inducing.  I had sex then contractions started at 2am so in the morning when I woke up I bounced on my ball and walked A LOT. She came at 9pm that day and I was 7cm when I got to the hospital! So it worked for me but my baby was ready.  It all depends on when your baby is ready! I had her at 39+3...
