I’m currently 38 weeks and 2 days. I went into my 38 week appointment on Tuesday for a final growth scan because he’s been measuring ahead consistently. The doctor that read me the results said he was measuring 8lbs 13oz that day and that the doctor appointment I had after speaking to him I should hear news and alluded to hearing options due to my baby being estimated we’ll over 10lbs by them time I get to my due date. Well the doctor I was supposed to see got overbooked and I got put with a midwife that I’d never met. The nurse came in before her and asked if I wanted to be checked and I said yes so I prepared for that before the midwife came in. When the midwife came in she spent I kid you not 30 minutes discouraging me to not get checked even though I hadn’t been checked since being at the hospital at 34 weeks for having regular contractions and a lost mucous plug and had declined being checked every other appointment. The midwife finally said she’d do it if I still wanted to and I did so she checked me and said that I’m still only 1cm dilated and still really high up there and that I’m 70% effaced. She was clearly ready for me to leave at that point but I still had questions. I asked her at what point they will intervene. She said oh well I’m not going to do anything as far as scheduling until I’m at 41 weeks. I just am so upset because I want to have him vaginally and the other doctors have explicitly told me that if he is estimated at 11lbs that 100% they will do a csection due to his shoulders getting stuck. So I feel like I have a better chance having him vaginally if I’m induced before it gets to that point. What do I do? I see a different doctor next Tuesday but nothing is progressing and the midwife made it clear I’ll probably go over.

Side note: I’ve done everything consistently to progress myself dates, raspberry leaf tea, labor ball, walks, squats, pineapple, sex, nipple stimulation it’s just not happening for me.
