I'm 34 weeks, and I may change my mind, but having been told all about the methods and timescales of induction that my chosen hospital use - my feeling is that I'm going to refuse them all. Unless they directly tell me that either me or my baby is at risk if I don't labour immediately.
So, ladies, how many of you go along with the flow of induction - whatever it may be where you are - and how many dig their heals in and succesfully wait for natural labour to start even if you go 12+ days beyond due date?
I really really hope I'm wasting my time thinking about this and that baby comes naturally on schedule, but honestly - induction just feels wrong to me at this point. Before anyone says it - I accept that come my due date I may be totally sick of pregnancy and be ready for this baby to be out. I just want to think about it well ahead of time so that I've got my feelings and facts straight should it come to this.
