Um. OMG. You are only 38 weeks. To be honest, unless you have some serious medical risks for going over 39 weeks that you didn't mention, he sounds like the most horrific terrible doctor ever, and I have a feeling he is pushing you around because you are young.

If that is the case, this is completely unacceptable. Once you have one c-sec, you can plan on the rest of your children also being c-sec too unless you can find a dr/hospital willing to VBAC you, and even then, the risks of things like uterine rupture increase dramatically after a c-sec.

I'd stop going to him *if I were you*. I would just wait for natural labor to start, and if anything concerning happened in the meantime I'd take myself down to L&D or the ER, anything to avoid prenatal visits with that jack-wagon.

I wouldnt drink castor oil to induce labour sometimes it does more bad than good. Your doc cant force you to have a c section if there is not anything wrong with you or baby.
If you want to try to induce labour try raspberry LEAF tea its supposed to work but takes a while i think though. Fresh pineapple is another trick but it makes your tongue hurt ha...tried that 1 :)
Good luck hun and ask for a 2nd opinion xx

I know many tiny girls that delivered vaginally just fine. Caster oil can be dangerous. Id try other ways before resorting to that. Is ur baby abnormally large??

Your doctor CANNOT force you to do a c-section, it is YOUR body and YOUR baby.
