I'm not sure about how quickly the cervix ripens/dialates. I went 12 days over. However I had the choice to go further if I wanted to. I wish I had as I was 4cm dialated going into induction (had waters broken) but being my first bub's and not really having a clue, I just went along with what the nurses suggested. Luckily that's the only intervention that was neccessary as I went into labour on my own.
I don't think that you are being irresponsible at all!! They will most likely monitor bub's daily after the 10/12 days anyway. Good luck and I hope that something happens in the meantime Think Positive!!
