Hi ladies

I know I've got a long way to go yet, but I found out from my mum the other day that she did not go into labour naturally with me or either of my siblings - she had to be induced each time.

I am worried this is going to happen to me, and from readin the birth stories in here it seems women are induced a lot of the time.

I guess my question is for those mothers that were induced - did you feel robbed of natural birth in any way? I feel a bit strange about a Dr picking out the date my child is born - I kind of want my child to pick the day himself.

How long can you hold off on being induced? (obviously if it's a safety thing I wouldn't want to hold off)

Cheers, Em
