Induction
40 weeks six days, was 1 cm dilated last appt, opting in for an elective induction, first kid was 13 days late with a need for an induction due to low amniotic fluid. I feel like I have tried all the things, sex, pumping, dates, pineapple, spicy foods, rolling on a yoga ball, yesterday I hiked 4 miles on a hilly trail doing at least 40 floors.
Basically feeling guilty for being impatient.

Try not to feel guilty, I think you've done everything you can do! I just learned yesterday at my induction that the placenta tends to start dying after 39 weeks I believe, so you don't need to feel guilty, there is a good reason!
I’m 40weeks 2 days. I’ve tried same things and nothing. I’m a first time mom and wanted a different delivery but at this point I’m just listening to my body and understood that my baby is not ready yet. I decided to be induced at 41 weeks. Hopefully my baby decides yo come out sometimes this week 💙 Good luck!

Hang in there girl you got this! I’m 40 weeks tomorrow and I’m doing all of that stuff too and I’m just praying it makes little man come out without needing to be induced 😅
