PLEASE HELP! Is there any chance for my labor to start on its own?
sorry if this is TMI-
This is my second pregnancy and the 2nd time I am not progressing. I am 40 weeks and 3 days and have an induction scheduled for Tuesday. I have been trying to get labor to start but I don't seem to have any very positive signs! No contractions that I can feel. I think I lost my mucus plug (big snot looking glob on toilet paper not pink tinged at all), sore in vaginal outside area- like doing too much exercise, she still seems to be sitting high, 70% effaced and 2 cm dilated for 2 1/2 weeks.
I don't know- I was looking forward to going into labor on my own, but at this point I have lost any faith that it is going to happen. My last induction wasn't the greatest experience (19 hours, and still had to use a vacuum with major tearing occurring).
Any thoughts????? Do I have a chance of going into labor before Tuesday?

My friend was about 40 weeks and 4 or 5 days . She was scheduled ( on Friday) to be induced on a Monday and gave birth Saturday on her own. She didn't walk, didn't bounce on the ball, didn't try anything. Sometimes they just aren't ready to leave yet. Good luck. Do some walking(:
