Prayer request!

OK. Here is my prayer request. I went to the doc today and still no progress with the baby. I know that due dates aren't set in stone and my ultrasound could be off by a few days but my doctor is only giving me another week before she induces me! She says that she doesn't want to put it off too much longer and if nothing happens she is taking matters into her own hands! I understand completely but the thought of my labor starting because of drugs is not at all where I wanted to go with this labor and delivery! I know that the Lord is in control of every sitution but I would really appreciate your prayers that the Lord would allow my contractions to start on there own and I would need the least amount of hospital intervention as possible! I feel like I had almost every intervention possible last delivery and I would love to feel a bit more in tune with everything this time. If need be for me to be induced then fine but I want that to be the ultimate last resort!
I am going back to the doctor on Friday to get a stress test to make sure the baby is doing ok and she said that she will wait til the 26th!
Please pray that the Lord would allow everything to start on there own and before Friday!
Last time with Luke most of you know the doctor was only giving me a few more hours before she did a c-section and I made rog call everyone at church and told them to pray that I wouldn't have to have a c-section and by God's grace, a short few hours later I was dilated to 10 and was ready to push! It seriously came out of nowhere but God tells us to pray without ceasing and ask and you shall receive!
I would really appreciate all your prayers this time as well!
