When my oldest son was two weeks overdue I was pretty badly wanting to get it overwith and told the doctor so. His answer was "when the apple is ready, it will fall from the tree" so I waited another week.

My labor stopped, they took me to X-ray and confirmed what I had known for a couple of months. David was laying with his head against my left hip. So... they injected me with pitocin anyway, to give me some strong contractions to get him turned around.

Believe me LMo, you DO NOT want the pitocin. If the baby is doing good and so are you, the only reason to induce you or give you a C-section is STRICTLY for the doctor's convenience!

for you and for your baby daughter.
