TBH I'm not quite sure why your DH is in the poo. I obviously don't know him, but I guessed he raised it at your appt because you had discussed concerns with him. My DH will voice things that I have said to him and I see that as being him looking after me, not speaking out of turn. After all, I'm his wife, this is his child and he is concerned about both our welfare. JMO though - like I said, I don't know your DH or you.

As for being induced, no not something I would consider. I had a quicker labour than you did with my DD2 and it is a genuine concern for me too - I am about an hour from my hospital and OB and TBH I don't know how I am going to deal with it closer to my due date either.

I guess the only thing you can do is try to make sure you have backups around you so that the second you feel labour come on you can get someone driving you to the hospital.
