Sorry you are feeling that way, maybe he will make a surprise evacuation tonight! Just curious because I am attempting VBAC, wasn't sure if I missed something, but why are they not allowing you to attempt an induction? I know it increases the risks but my OB has told me there are a few safe induction methods.
One mw had mentioned the bulb to me, and I saw the other mw this week who didn't mention it, but I'm pretty sure my cervix wasn't really favorable enough - only 1cm and 30 - 40% at 41 + 1.
Part of it is crappy timing too and I don't know how long that type of induction takes. They don't want me going past 42 weeks, which would be Sunday for me, and the midwives are only on call Monday - Thurs. So there's this weird balance of giving me as much time as possible without letting me go too long and also having consistency of care. A failed induction and emergency c section over the weekend don't really sound all that great either.
Im doing my best to give it all up and trust that this is the best/safest plan for me and baby. I'm a little relieved to not have to worry about rupture, except that the trade off is being cut open. Life is weird.
I hope things go better for you and you get your vbac!
It's weird how practices are so different! Foley bulb is what my OB mentioned and is how I was induced with DD. It sucked. Having some similar feelings so I understand how important acceptance is. Good luck! You will soon have a sweet baby to snuggle (:
