what should I do? need advice.. 40 weeks today
So here's my current situation... for the last 2 weeks I have not dialated at all and have been 50 % effaced. I haven't progressed what so ever even though I have tried walking more than before. Now the situation is my baby is measuring 9 lbs and 2 oz already. The doctor said the baby will grow an estimate of 1 oz per day so in one week he could very well be 10 pounds 😱he also said ultra sounds aren't always accurate he could be 8 or even 10 already. So anyway obviously this scares me because I really want to avoid a c section. I am terrified of it and ahhh just really don't want to if I don't have to. So the doctor said that there is risks if I wait too long because he could get stuck on the way out and there could be nerve damage to the baby's arm if he gets stuck. Also he said that the bigger he is the more likely he can be in stress ... so I am considering being induced. Now my thing is should I do this like NoW! Or can I wait till like Tuesday? If I wait another few days though I do worry he will get too big and I'll end up in c section anyway. The fact that I'm not dilating means I'm going to have to get some hormones put in my vagina to start to dilate me. He also said this could be a 20 hour process 😩. It's a lot to take in but
I'm curious as to what you guys recommend. I hope my body goes into labor naturally but seems like my baby doesn't want to come out.
