Dr appointment today - still not dilated (37w5d) talking about scheduling and induction when I go back next Tuesday, we hope I've dilated a little to help with the induction. But I'm so scared 😫 she's not wanting to come on her own and I'm miserable. Thinking about waiting for her to come on her own but dr said we could wait but I could still be closed at 42 weeks with a big baby, and still have to get induced. Any advice?

Don't listen to the hype about all first babies taking forever or not coming until late. I had my son at 38 weeks and a few days it all happened on its own. I walked alot tried spicy foods and karo syrup. It worked. You can spontaneously go into labor at any time. And they don't always take forever. Both times my labor barely started at 10 pm I slept the whole night not feeling it. Woke around 6 with decent contractions and had my son at 11:12 am and my daughter 2 years later at 12:37 pm Both times I pushed less than an hour I don't think even anywhere near. So baby will come when ready and try walking and there are certain foods that can help start labor.
But I'm not dilated, at all! 😫 that's what I'm scared about. I don't want to have to use that cervidil thing, it scares me. If be fine if I was atleast 1 or 2 cm dilated but it's not working. I keep having contractions and she's head down and everything. And I feel like if I wait I'll end up waiting way past my due date and still have to get induced and either try to push out a big baby or have a c section @34466
Try googling different ways to start your labor. I was in active labor with my daughter but she wouldn't come out. Turns out because she had the cord around her neck several times. But they gave my pitocin to kick start it more and the pressure was so intense. I had a failed epidural with my son so ended up going all natural and that was soooo much better!! There are many ways to start your contractions on your own . Good luck!!
Karo syrup?
