Barb:

With the friend that I wrote about, it's been a high-risk pregnancy, 
and she's had a rough time of it. She was supposed to go in on 
Monday for an ultrasound and amnio, and if the baby's lungs were 
fully developed (which they should be, since she's 38 weeks), she'd 
be induced.

With my baby (now 15 months), I went to 41 weeks, and at my 41 week 
ultrasound, they saw my amniotic fluid was low, so they induced me 
the next day. 

-Barb, who's DYING to hear if her friend had the baby, but realizes 
that if there is a baby, they are WAY too busy to call!
