No signs of contraction at 39w5d

Last appt was at 39w1d & was only 1cm dilated. Dr has asked me to come in at 40w to be induced 🥲 Really hope my contractions will kick in soon because I really don't want to go through induction. Most ladies says its more painful vs natural contractions. I've tried walking for >2hours, curb walking, climb stairs, squats etc buttt nothing. Was also wondering if anybody actually push back their induction date to later in order to let the body go through labour naturally? Aniways, hopefully all goes well for me! #1stimemom #firstbaby
