42 weeks tomorrow and still no baby. My doula suggested I get induced this weekend if she doesn't come by then. I'm a little bummed but I'm mostly trusting her opinion. The foley bulb will be my first choice. Sigh

@kylamommy2016, oh okay I see. Ah I hope they don't send me home lol
They sent me home because I was only 1.5cm but when the contractions too bad I went in. And I got induced at 41 weeks
@arivera64, yes I do lol if my husbands leave gets approved tonight I'll induce tomorrow. But baby girl is doing well thank the goddesses.
@kylamommy2016, oh wow they send you home?! Im already about 3-4 cm dilated so hopefully they'll keep me.
@arivera64, see that scares me in case I go over. I will be begging them to get her out ASAP lol.
Not at 40 weeks but after 42 weeks, we don't really know how well the placenta functions. It could possibly reduce the amount of oxygen and blood flow. I believe this is why doctors see 42 weeks as the cut off just to stay safe. Like you said either way, it's been long enough and I know you'd love to have her in your arms so you can share her with your hubby. lol
Well they inserted it Mother's Day night around 8pm and they sent me home with medicine and sent me home and told me to come back if the pain was too much. Around midnight I was having contractions and I waited until they got stronger. About 230 am I went to the hospital and got admitted. They pulled the bulb out and I was 5cm dilated.
@arivera64, yes indeed she is! I can't find any studies that say the placenta actually starts to degrade. It's a thriving organ so how can it really start to fail like exactly at 40 weeks? Either way though I think my stress isn't healthy for her so she needs to come out!
I hope they don't either. You should of had that baby a week ago!
