    I know how you feel I've had both of mine 10 days post EDD. One of the reasons I went with my ob the last two times is because our local hospital really start putting the pressure on for induction at 9-10 days over, whereas my ob will let me decide when/how/if it happens (assuming baby and I are well of course).

    Ultimately you know it is YOUR decision, but I really hope you go soon to avoid the stress of it all

    Great advice as always ladies

    Remember, unless he can show you any real, hard evidence right now (no not quotes right out of the textbook) that you or your baby is currently in danger or stress, then you are doing just beautifully!!! Hang in there... no evidence... no interference...

    keep your appt next week - it's always nice to be able to say "told ya so"! and 7 days post dates isn't bad - always better to be prepared to see the middie just in case...

    MBear - Hugs sweets. I had the induction talk at my 36wk apt when pregnant with Loren. It honestly did my head in for a couple of weeks. Then at the 40wk apt they ramped up the induction talks. At that stage I went with the flow and let them book in an induction date etc. I knew fully well that it wouldn't be needed. I never drop either and dispite the OB telling me at that 40wk apt that bub was not engaged ata ll and that he'll see me in 10days, I gave birth the next day.

    Good luck sweets. Try and find a nice quiet moment and visualise bub moving down and getting ready for birth..I did this and it helped me focus on the job ahead.

    FFS, you'd think they could wait until your EDD before starting the induction talk.
