So induction day turns out to not be our day. Midwife says conditions "are not favorable" for inducing, which translates to - birthing suites are full and your induction paperwork was not called in to the hospital. We are disappointed for sure, mainly due to the mental preparation that we put into this day, but we know the midwives prefer to let labor begin on its own whenever possible. They also feel that if you induce when baby isn't ready you'll have a longer, more difficult labor, issues tend to come up with blood pressure for mom and stress for baby more frequently and we definitely don't want that. Sigh, I guess I get to be pregnant longer...off to Redbox to get some movies to help pass some time this weekend...
