Fourteenth Prenatal Visit: The Deliberation: Going for Induction ofLabor or Not?

I gained one pound since last week.  Today, my obgyn checked again my cervix if I was already dilating.  Unfortunately, I wasn't.  Since Im on full term and ready to go anytime, she asked me again if I would like to go for induction of labor this week.  Me and my husband had talked about this and we already set a date, that is on the 25th--my mom-in-law's bdate.  Learning that its saturday, my obgyn told me its not possible.  How come I asked of course but she told nothing except that she don't usually deliver baby on Saturday!  I could only choose between 23rd or 24th.  I asked for several times an acceptable reason why we couldn't do it on the 25th but I just ended nodding to her foolish behavior and explanations to top it off. 

On the first place, who would know when to go on labor, can she control someone to give birth on saturday?  Since its induction, she reiterated to me that hospital might hold me for pitocin whenever the hospital got too many patients who are ready than I am since its pre-elected understanding that Im going there for induction .  Apparently, that hospital is big and needless to say, they are known for their maternal services and I dont think it would never occur to them to set aside their pre-elected patients for trivial reason like that of my obgyn.  So to conclude my visit to my doctor, I told her that we would call her the next day to confirm whether we would go for induction or just wait for another week since it still okay to deliver her a week after the due date.  The risk of course is having a big baby and might go on caesarean section.

Im not feeling good about my doctor, perhaps, we couldn't agree more about the things that I expect from her.  We should be deliberately discussing our plans and consider my options.  I expect her to explain it to me very well.  I wouldn't definitely recommend her to anyone nor I will consider another delivery of the baby with her.  She's really getting on my nerves and Im starting to hate her.
