From your previous posts its sounds like you and your OB have a really good relationship, so I think if you just tell him tomorrow when you get started that you want to take things slow, you should be ok.

FWIW, I was induced with DD1 at midday on a Tuesday for pretty much the same reasons as you - past dates and my blood pressure rising too much. Gels inserted and then nothing else done for the day. My cervix started dilating but really nothing. Next morning OB broke my waters and then nothing again until noon when a drip was started at very low levels. After still not much progress it was my choice to crank the drip up to get things moving late afternoon. I asked for an epidural around 6pm because I had had a sleepless night and was totally exhausted. DD1 was born that night with absolutely no (further) intervention at all. Prior to the epidural I had portable monitors hooked up so I could still stand in the shower, walk around etc. The whole way through my OB was happy to let me dictate what was happening - my blood pressure had dropped a bit, bubs was not distressed so we just waited it out.

Best of luck. Looking forward to your BA
