spam me with your opinions

Sa • Tue, Apr 25

I'm currently today 40+5, my cervix is still thick the doctor says and I'm dilated 1.5 CM & 70% effaced... I've been this way for 5 weeks. Please don't tell me ways to induce labor- I've tried everything and my doctor has actually told me to stop trying to bring it on. The advice I'm wanting is should I call my doctor and say yes I want to schedule an induction? He talks his way around and through things, A LOT. But I know he mentioned that I would come in one night start the ripening of my cervix and then pitocin the next day (I've been induced 2 other times, and had both babies within 10 hours) he isn't worried about the baby's health at all, she's fine. It's just my cervix. Anyways he said the best thing to do is wait and give it another week because of statistics I should be going into labor on my own this week. (He's also said before that he didn't even think I'd make it to April 20th and I'd have my daughter before then, I didn't. He also last week on Monday said he thinks I'd be in labor that week, now he's saying it's this week) my only concern is or are, this baby girl is measuring huge! Her movements are very limited these days and it makes me worried. I'm also worried she'll have a BM in me like my first child and make us both sick again. He said if I'm still pregnant next Monday morning May 1, he would induce me the next day May 2nd. I will then be 41+5.

So what are yalls opinions!? Should I ask for a induction before next week?
