No signs of labour

I am at 38 weeks now, my due date is on 20th January and still no signs of labour. My doctor advised me for induced labour but i still want to wait. What should I do? Does anyone experience this before?

For me, if baby is have enough fluids, size okay, not distress or having any complications, I would wait for baby to come naturally. Did your gynae raise any concerns on why he/she would want you to induce? I waited till past due date but had to induce due to low fluid.

If all is okay, maybe ask your gynae if you can wait till baby comes naturally instead? Is baby’s head down yet? Do also take note that, if induction fails after the third pill, you’ll have to e-Csect.
