38 weeks 5 days to edd still have time to labor naturally ?

I am currently 38 weeks 5 days and my gynae gave me until edd before i will be induced as im not dilated nor do i have any signs. Is there any possibility during these 9 days that i might be able to actually labor naturally ? Or even dilate abit? Or high chance no. This will be my first born. Is it commong first born will be overdue ? And does being induced mostly end up in csection? #firsttimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

i was induced(cervidil) at 39 weeks due to gestational diabetes. i was in labour for 28 hours and it was a very long labour. i almost ended up having a c-section because dilation was quite slow. i had my baby the next day after i got admitted for induction. it all depends on the baby and how your body reacts to it. do not worry too much and just go with the flow, okay?
