i cant remember exactly my numbers were but i remembver my bishop score was low... pretty much all closed up and no sign of being ready. i was 10 days overdue and booked in for induction, had to use the gel because i wasnt dilated at all and so they couldnt just break waters. anyhoo.... when my DD was born she had a lot of vernix on her and they said that she was probably 39weeks gestation and we had the dates wrong... well no wonder i wasnt showing any signs of labour!! grrrr.
i would think the bishop score would matter the most when you are overdue...
you can say that you dont want to be induced, they will probably pressure you though. if you request an ultra sound to check on the health of the placenta and cord etc i think that i would wait at least a week longer.
