W39 and no labour symptoms

Hi mummies! I’m currently at W39D3 today. Went for my appt for a cervix check but gynae said that i’m not dilated (0cm) and baby is still high up. Therefore, given the option to induce/ elective csect or wait it out till my EDD next week and decide again. Felt a little disappointed tho because bb was head down since W24 & I’ve been having pelvic pains for the past few weeks… but end up still not engaged yet. 1. Any mummies able to share their experience of successful induction even when baby is not engaged? I was told of the risk too if induction fails might lead to emergency csect. 2. Also, gynae says placenta and amniotic fluid levels are okay. Bb is currently 3.3kg now, should I wait it out till past my EDD? Has anyone given birth at close to W41? #firsttimemom #Needadvice #firstbaby

thankful and blessed x

I was 40 weeks 5 days pregnant with my first baby. No signs of labour, nothing. Was induced. Labour was 29 hours and dilated very slowly. (didn't take epidural) Gynae told me if i didn't dilate at 10cm by 1am (cos they already burst the waterbag), i would have to go for e-csect. thank god by 1am, i was 10cm 5 mins before the cut off timing. started to push and managed to deliver normal. 3.6kg baby.
