Dear Sonu,
Shilpi tried to tell a few things I would say. Mainly about lightening. Not necessarily everyone follows book pattern. In books most primaparous (first time) mother experience lightening 2-4 weeks before labor. But a few of them get in to labor and that's when they see lightening, I am one of those case.

Besides lightening is not a concern. You have time and should not worry on that. Especially when you don't have thoughts against C-section if required you should try to wait for labor to start naturally or schedule an induction.

I know cases right on IP who experienced positive outcome of induction with high positioned baby. Induction is supposed to get you stronger contractions spaced close and inthe process baby will descend.

Can you suggest for induction and see if your Dr. want's to go through it.

By the way deliving 7 pounds can be difficult to some while on the other hand some deliver over 10 pounds baby without trouble. Leave such options to circumstance and if the size is what you are concerned then schedule an induction.

Can you intercourse? if you say then go ahead and see if that works!

I wish you very best luck.
archie Sonu replied. Thanks for your reply. I shall keep all this in mind and talk to my doc on the following appt if the baby has not yet dropped.

You know she did say that she will work with us if we wanted to wait BUT she mentioned that usually after such hard labor hours you might end up in C-section. I shall talk to her abt the induction.....BUT donno why she mentioned to me that if she would have to induce she would have to wait until 41 weeks. Donno why she mentioned 41 weeks donno why she couldn't do before that. Shall check with her regarding that.

Also wanted to mention to you one more thing.....my mom had a 12 hr labor and then ended up with a C section and also my aunt she also had 23hrs labor and ended up in C section. Donno if heriditery has anything to do.....was wondering if you have an idea.
