I wouldn't lie, but my own Ob told me he would go by the date that allowed me to go longest over (it was only a week) and interestingly DS was born the day before the longest EDD. He would have let me go 42 weeks but with monitoring from 40 weeks. So I don't think I would have been in any danger.
But I agree if one feels they need to lie, then IMO they shouldn't be with that carer. I would never allow myself to be pressured into an induction though, so maybe I feel more secure because of that?
