My due date is in 4 days (july 23rd) and today my OB wanted to set up a
induction date for next week. I told him that I would prefer to wait as much

We were scheduled for a C-section on July 22nd but Hedgehog had other
plans. I went into labor on Saturday and had her via C-section on Sunday
morning, July 18.  We're happy and well, and breastfeeding is going

OK, I would like to know what people think.  I've required a very weak
prescription for a few years, but for about the past couple of years, I
