1cm dilated

Hi mummies, iam 37 weeks 3 days now Iam already 1cm dilated and having terrible aches around my hips area n tightening at my stomach area too... What shall I do... Can I just wait till spotting n water bag burst or just walk in to kkh n request for Induce labor? Is induced labor dangerous for the little one??

Typically gynae won't agree to induce unless there's really a need for baby to come out alr. It's normal to have those aches and tightening. I had tt all the way till 39+ wks but still 1cm dilated so I decided to go for elective csect since baby was alr 3.8kg by then. Induction isn't really dangerous but known to be more painful than natural labour. Hang in there mummy!
