Renstar, I must have been still typing while you were posting. As I wrote in my really long post, I was induced on Christmas Day. The reason for this is the doctors didn't want a surprise delivery and I was already overdue. The staff were wonderful, if a little distracted by Christmas but the level of care was still there. The only interaction with actual doctors I had was to insert the gel against my cervix and to help deliver the placenta, the rest was the midwives. My point, you will be in the best of care regardless of the time of year.
