39 Week Appointment

Well I'm not very happy with my appointment today, although my blood pressure was good, his heartbeat was strong at 147bpm and I'm another half centimeter dilated at 3cm. I am 3 days away from 40 weeks - full term - my due date. The doctor wanted to strip my membranes (separating the amniotic sac from the bottom of the uterus) hoping to naturally induce labor, meaning without medication, although it doesn't always work. She never asked if I wanted her to. I told her that I did not want that done before my due date, even if it is only 3 days away. She didn't seem too happy about that decision and was adamant that we need to start thinking induction. It makes me mad that she seems in such a rush to get my baby out. Nothing is wrong with me and nothing is wrong with him, he will come when he is ready and I still feel like I have plenty of time. Trust me, I'm uncomfortable and I want this baby out, but I feel like I need to be allowed time to go into labor naturally. It's not like I'm not progressing. I'm already 3cm dilated and 75% effaced all before my due date! I have had contractions, just nothing consistent. If I'm not in that big of a rush, why is my doctor! My next appointment is Tuesday, September 7, if I don't have him before then. I'm guessing at that appointment I won't have an option of whether to have my membranes stripped or not and will be choosing a date for a medical induction.
