Good lord, I would have smacked your hubby if it were me.
It's completely up to you and your Dr. has gotta be plain loopy if he wants to set up an induction date when he doesn't even know if you or the baby are ready!?!?! Totally confusing. I would definitely protest it. This whole thing has been SO confusing, I would think, thinking about induction at this point would just be the wrong move..but that's just me. I'm not about messing with nature either unless it becomes necessary. My first 2 were late but came on their own. My 3rd, according to my Dr's due date was 15 days late and so he needed to induce me, seeing that I was past the 2 week point where things can start going bad. Even then, I held out as long as he would let me, I talked with him in length about it because it's the last thing I wanted to have done. And I DIDN'T want Pitocin. He ended up giving me something called Cytotec (which is inserted vaginally) and breaking my water first thing, and 6 hrs later she was here. Fortunately for me, it was the easiest, smoothest and shortest labor I've had and I'm very grateful it went that well. I was scared to DEATH.
Needless to say I will be pushing it to 2 weeks past this time too and he knows that. I think in your situation, it's just strange to consider NOW without possibly some further testing first. I feel sorry for you though. I know how those 5 min visits are and how frustrating. I know the pelvics are kinda pointless too, as far as telling you 'when' anything will happen, but at least if you've made some progress, you *may* have an idea that your body is gearing up at least.
