Another OB check-up without any changes. Cervix is closed, blood pressure is good, baby's heart rate is normal.
They wanted to induce this week, but I managed to get them to wait. I had to agree to a fetal biophysical profile scheduled for tomorrow; but as long as everything checks out, it will buy me another week before they start pushing induction again.
I really want to allow my body to handle the birthing process naturally without induction or intervention. I seem to be the only one able to be patient. The doctors admit that everything looks fine, but they still want to control my baby's birth. On the upside, at least I'll get to have an ultrasound as part of the biophysical profile. Maybe afterward I'll have a new picture or two to post tomorrow.

I agree with you - let it happen naturally, I'm just a little nervous that you might pop before then! And, so I'm ok with letting the labor come on naturally, but the birth, too? Now, that I don't think I'm as strong about as you. Bring on the epidural! :)
I agree! Go for the epidural. I had one and I didn't feel the least bit cheated in the birthing process. In fact, I couldn't have survived without it!
