I feel for you for sure!! <br /><br />I'm with everyone else on trying to avoid pitocin at all costs (i'm kind of surprised a midwife would even suggest it, especially before 2 weeks after due date). I had to have the pitocin with Chicken because my water broke but I didn't go into labor on my own. You are guaranteed an epi for sure as it makes labor SO painful (contractions that double and triple). <br /><br />BUT, I'm sure you won't need it! I bet it won't be long before baby girl makes her entrance :)CanadianMamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830797268318076910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042017014273025624.post-56402557635106502732011-02-02T19:41:11.935-05:002011-02-02T19:41:11.935-05:00My sister in law had her baby yesterday and she wa...My sister in law had her baby yesterday and she was due on Jan 25th.

Especially if you are wanting a natural birth, I wouldn't want the induction, esp for my first birth. My OB had known to let women go past due 3 weeks just because they want a natural birth. Most women will definitely have the baby before 2 weeks "late" anyway. Having been through an induction, I say let your body do it's own thing. When it's ready, it's ready.Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016553715852916194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042017014273025624.post-41102993916095577212011-02-02T12:29:48.572-05:002011-02-02T12:29:48.572-05:00She's going to come!

A "due date" means nothing to her; she'll come when she's ready.<br />I went 6 days past with Chloe and about the same with John. <br />I too panicked a little as my due date came and went and they told me about how everything would proceed if labor didn't start on it's own.<br />Don't be pressured into anything; sweeps are optional and to a certain extent, being induced is too.<br />I had a sweep with John. It didn't hurt then but I felt crampy and awful the rest of the day. I'm not convinced it did a darn thing.<br /><br />Hang in there....and watch your mail; I sent you a little something today :)Jenn @ Beautiful Callinghttp://www.beautifulcalling.canoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042017014273025624.post-1498717118878617022011-02-02T11:58:50.287-05:002011-02-02T11:58:50.287-05:00We had asked about what would happen postdates, wh...We had asked about what would happen postdates, which started the induction discussion - due date is the 4th, she's talking about pitocin on the 14th, so it's not too, too early. Still. Would rather it didn't happen! <br /><br />I've heard the sweeps are awful. I really don't want that either. :( Yikes.<br /><br />I keep telling this baby she's got to come on her own and sooner is better than later!Emily Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00502193048317452144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042017014273025624.post-51497883773075409602011-02-02T11:46:28.420-05:002011-02-02T11:46:28.420-05:00I'd rather not do a sweep again thank you very...I'd rather not do a sweep again thank you very much! I had a bad experience with my OB doing that to me several times with #1. I was not even dilated so it was EXTREMELY painful. I'm opting for no sweeps unless I'm way past due AND well effaced and dialated.Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016553715852916194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9042017014273025624.post-42895121509483183022011-02-02T11:30:40.487-05:002011-02-02T11:30:40.487-05:00Canadian midwives are different from American ones...Canadian midwives are different from American ones....
