Induction Scheduled...

I am due Sept 10. 38+4 today. I've been cramping and contracting and losing small pieces of my mucus plug, etc... But over the last two weeks I've only dilated to 3. I was in labor with my son without dilating also, ended up having my water broken and having to get pitocin even though I was having painful contractions. My doctor and I decided that my body just can't figure out how to dilate, so I am going to be induced on Thursday morning. Kind of bummed since I was going to try to go as natural as possible this time, but I also don't want to go through all these painful contractions if they aren't productive and making me dilate.
