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!!

didnt matter though as i had DD the next night!
It was same for me but it was the doc - was 4 days off EDD... I told him there'd only be an internal if I let him.... funnily enough Elijah was born next day. I would've only been 3 days past EDD at next appt. Sweetie, like you said - YOU know your body, tell them to bugger off unless it's for a medical reason they don't need to be interfering with nature. Which reminds me of something I saw on tv on the weekend.. it was a show about Orangatans and they showed one having a baby (really cool) but the guy said when someone was worried about something that he doesn't like to intervene with them and nature unless he REALLY has to which then made me think that's right!! .... ummmm OK SO WHY DO IT WITH HUMANS???

What's with this =====>>>> She said public system have brought in induction plans/methods of late coz too many women were going over their EDD... <<<<===== is it getting too inconvenient for them??? WHAT A CROC!!!
