at my 40 wk midwife appt i was told at 41 weeks id be having an internal and booking in an induction,i kindly told them thanks but no thanks!! i wasnt having an internal or booking an induction, id see them at 14 days post EDD, they were a little shocked and were happy to forgo the interanl, didnt matter though as i had DD the next night!
dont let anyone bully or tell you you need induction, its more than normal for bub not to engage until labour!
