I just wanted to say that the fear of a loose vagina is not a really valid concern. My kids will be two years apart and tightness and muscle down in my downstairs had never been an issue. If it was i doubt I would be knocked up again. LOL!
And I really stand by each birth is so different. My best friend was 42 weeks and a bit. They tried inducing her 4 times. No luck. Let per labor on pitocon for awhile. Zero progression. She was swelling like you would not believe and it was starting to get scary. She had her son 12 hours after I had Briggs via c-section. That kid was HUGE! He was 11lbs, 3oz and totally healthy. I feel terrible that she had to go through her c-section because the recovery was god awful for her and she feels terribly guilty and like her body failed... but it isn't like she didn't try her darn hardest. She was a saint those last two weeks of going over due and I just as proud of her for her birth experience as she was for me for mine.
