I was induced with both my babies, first time due to pre-eclampsia and the second time at 3days after our due date because I was already 4cm dilated and had been in pre-labour for weeks so just had my waters broken and 3hours later our bubba was born. I was like you, expecting bubba for weeks and it was so hard when our e date came and went - esp knowing I was 4cm and the flabour just wouldn't become established!

I guess it depends if you are dilated at all but I didnfind medical induction that bad, but I suppose it depends why you want to avoid induction. If your dr is happy to monitor you and you are happy being pg I've heard you can go up to 43+ weeks. I guess it is up to you and how you feel. Good luck with your decsion.
