Cindy, first of all hun, huge hugs for you I am reading the same as Sherie, that by what your (N)OB is saying that if your not progressing as fast as she wishes you will be in theatre. Of course you have every right to refuse hun. This is your body and your baby. Your fundal height can be out for a number of reasons, including bubs position.

Is there perhaps a way that you can just call back your OB, have a conversation over the phone with her, that way you won't feel like a little child with her looking down or condecending you. Have a list of the things you want to discuss and hit her with them all, take little notes during the conv because your bound to forget things. Try and be calm and rational.

Of course there is an easier way around the induction date and that is to simply not turn up hun !! Yes, you can do that. There are women who do such a thing.

Joel sounds like most males actually, my DP is the same, thinks he should just give me space, which is fine when I have steam coming out of my ears, but when I'm clearly upset, give me a damn cuddle.

Keep up with the accupunture and anything else you are doing, but basically at the end of the day none of it will work unless your bubba is ready.

Please let us know what you decide to do. We will all support you no matter what hun
