I guess you just have to wait and see! An induction when you are overdue might go just fine. I was induced w/ my first at just a couple days overdue and it was bad, but I did not have a c-section. I'll never know if it would have been just as bad w/out induction just b/c it was my first baby. With the second, my water broke at the day you are on now (one day short of 41 weeks), with no warning and no dilation. The only thing that did happen was that I had started losing my mucus plug a day or two before. I was 1 cm at the hospital and had no contractions, so they started pitocin after waiting the maximum amount of time after water breaking (5 hours, I think). I was really scared about it after my first labor, but everything went MUCH better than my first despite the pitocin and was a totally different experience. It just seemed like everything moved along the way it was supposed to. So, I guess all that is to say that you just don't know how things will turn out, induction or not/pitocin or not. Good luck to you--hope something happens soon!
