I'm 2 days shy of 40 weeks and monday morning my doctor wants?

Besides Walking, you can try spicy food. They say this helps. I would like to tell you that I was induced at 38 weeks and my labor was very fast! Every women is different but I will be induced again this go around. I live so far from the hospital my doctor does it to be sure I have my baby there and not on the way haha.
It is a scary thing if you haven't ever been there, but it was a piece of cake and that night my hubby and I were talking about when we were going to have another baby! If you are 75% effaced and 1 cm dilated then I think you will go in labor soon just keep up the walking, don't run but walk fast as this is suppose to help. I'd have my bags packed and the carseat ready in the car! you shouldn't be too much longer.

You do not usually have to induce unless your baby hasn't came at 42 weeks. Google how to make your body go in labor there should be plenty of things people have tried ( I wouldn't eat or drink anything that you wouldn't normally, some people have tried things I think are not only dangerous to them but to their baby) Hope this helps! God Bless!

i've been taking 10 mg. of valium 3x a day ,for the past 4 months,my doctor wants to take me off of them?

We Answered:

I would have thought it would be kinder to wean you off them over a period of time, not just stop them cold. You could probably reduce to zero over a period of 3 - 4 months max, you wouldnt be allowed to stay on one reduced dose for "months".
Talk to him about it and tell him you are worried.
The excerpt below is from the web site given which is all about valiun, what it is and what it does. You can see that there is not just a physical dependance, people often get an emotional dependance on it too.

"Valium (diazepam) is habit forming. You can become physically and psychologically dependent on the medication. Do not take more than the prescribed amount of medication or take it for longer than is directed by your doctor. Withdrawal effects may occur if Valium (diazepam) is stopped suddenly after several weeks of continuous use. Your doctor may recommend a gradual reduction in dose."

Peggy Said:

Is it true that if I don't have my period.. Can become a man?

We Answered:

No. You have a vagina, correct? Well, then you can't become a man unless you have a sex change and turn it into a penis.

Jeffery Said:

I want to have a waterbirth, but my doctor doesn't do waterbirths. Help?!?

We Answered:

If I were you I would switch to the midwife. Things change in a pregnancy and you have the right to change if you want to. I don't believe that a midwife would turn you away just because you are five months along. As long as you have been getting good prenatal care, you should be just fine! And trust me, water birth is totally worth it!!!!
