They can't make you have one... but they can certainly put the pressure on, huh?
I'm with Kaz, I'd give them a call on Monday & see what might happen if you don't turn up - just so you know. Whether or not you do go on Tuesday is entirely up to you. Maybe you'll decide to go and then get gastro like Nai said
Goodness, when you say birth centre and the doctors, is this a family birth centre, or a general midwifery unit? I would be complaining - I have discussed this with my midwife already and she's said that they go to 42 weeks OK! But that we could expect monitoring to ensure all is OK .. and that's fine with me.
Stand your grounds! If you & the baby are healthy, then what's their issue?
thank you to you all, i will ring on monday and let them know i wont be having it, hopefully baby will come before then, no one should have to put up with this stuff when their about to have a baby.
And just because they are doctors doesnt mean they are god.
Feeling bullied at this stage of your pregnancy is not how you want to be treated. IT's funny how they think they are helping you not to have a bigger baby, but a few days is not going to make a huge difference... I had to beg to be let go 15 days overdue with my first baby in a birth centre, but I was lucky to find a midwife that was prepared to back up my decision. Perhaps ring and try and find someone you can trust that can help you make a decision that suits you and your family.
Go well, and enjoy your birth. FIVE babies, wow!
I would call them back, cancel the appointment, and tell them if they have a problem with it, then you can tell them what they can do with that opinion.
Your body, and how dare anyone force you to do anything, especially something invasive and unnecessary.

I would expect better from a birth centre.
