induce

I'm on week 39 day 2. No signs of labour and my last check up, my gynae told me my cervix has yet to open up. Can I just go to the hosp today and get myself induced?

if you can wait, wait for doctor's advice. i went for induced on my 40weeks exact bc still 0cm dilated. after 12hrs, only 1cm. other than that, i could only bear the first 4-5hrs of pain of the induced meds. i quickly asked for pain control options and brought down to labour ward. the whole process is very tiring. by the time you need to push, you run out of energy. so my advise, wait if you can. if can go without induced, better. bc if your pain tolerance is very low, you might have to take epi and the side effects EW even post delivery now EW other than than, just walk arnd, squats, light exercise and stuff. it doesn't work on me but it may work on you. every pregnancy is diff. goodluck mummy.
