My due date is Saturday. My cervix is soft but not dilated. My doctor doesn't like to allow people to go to 41 weeks and suggested we induce next week. It is more convenient for my husband to be off of work starting on a Monday rather than the middle of the week. So I am stuggling because I would rather give my baby until 40+5 which would be Wednesday, than Monday at 40+3. But, like I said, Monday is more convenient for my husband. I have been struggling with this pregnancy emotionally all week. I feel like an induction is me giving up and being a bad mother.

Seriously, no rude comments. I understand delivery between 38-42 is "normal."

*Update (kind of). Thank you all for your kind words. I have been up for 3.5 hours thinking about this and wanting to talk to my husband once he woke up. He still feels it is easier to take off starting on a Monday, but will do what ever I think is best. I totally understand why he says that, he has a huge project just starting so the timing just isn't great (managing the build of a 23,000 sq ft building). I am just not one for opting for medical intervention. I have fibromyalgia and don't even take medication for the pain. I had a huge breakdown just now because I just don't want to make this decision. My hormones are ridiculous and I don't want to start my baby's life off with the wrong decision.
