I ended up being induced ten days past my due date, and my daughter was (finally) born on the eleventh day. I didn't have any contractions though, so hopefully in your case they are preparing your body for delivery. Induction was really at the bottom of my list of things I wanted to happen too. Unfortunately I was with a regular doctor who routinely induced on the tenth day after a due date. Next time I am going to use a midwife. I tried everything to start labor the natural way, including acupuncture, which some friends swear by. Nothing worked. I caved and got an epidural (didn't think I would want one of those either), and the good news is that by that point, if you end up getting one, you won't care about the needle (and you won't see it). Good luck! Amber Hi Meredith,
