Im 5 days overdue-- PLEASE HELP.[[TMI]]?

Question

Okay-- I was due on the 12th and I had my membranes scraped [last monday] and that did nothing... I am scheduled for an induction on the 19th @ 6:00am. What can I expect in this situation-- this is my first baby and being induced makes me really scared and anxious!! Also I have had the poopys ALL DAY and LATE into the night [ it's 2:21 am here ] does this mean I could go into labor soon?

has anyone else been in this situation?? Please help me...

I was induced with baby #2 and it was so much better than with my 1st. Just over 2 hours and she was out. You feel groggy and stuff. I actually fell asleep (passed out) between contractions which was good mad it go faster. 
Try some natural things to bring it on before the 19th like nipple stimulation, walking, sex, castor oil etc.

you could go into labor before the 19th. I had diarrhea the day before i went into labor. try spicy food, sex, nipple stimulation, bouncing on a ball, walking stairs. good luck.

ALSO: I was a 4cm not progressing.. so I got pitocin (induced) it made the contractions go from a 0-10 in 30mins. it hurt bad, but after I got the epidural I was fine :)  I would do it all over again.. but this time i need a c-section :( which I'm scared of!

I would say that if you're late you should go ahead and test. Just ask yourself whether it's worth knowing now or stressing about it for the next week or so. If you're going to be stressing about it and thinking about it just do the test and get it out of the way.
