OB update

I had my weekly OB appointment today and saw the Physician's Assistant again. The baby is still doing well - heartbeat in the 140's and moving around a lot! My weight gain seems to have essentially stopped over the past couple of weeks, which is apparently normal. I have made some progress since my last appointment, but still no contractions. I'm still 1cm dilated, but 70% effaced and at station -1 (was 50% effaced and at -2 last week). So, I guess progress is good, but I still don't get the feeling the baby is coming any time soon. The PA asked if I had an appointment with my OB soon and I told her it will be Monday. She said that since they don't want me to go more than a week past my due date, Dr. A will want to start talking to me about induction. I wonder if that means she'll go ahead and schedule an induction date for me in case i don't go into labor on my own? I'm not crazy about the idea of having to be induced, but it would be nice to have a date on my calendar that tells me I'll be holding my baby no later than that day! So, I guess we'll see what she says when I go in on Monday. Hopefully I'll still go into labor on my own some time around my due date.
