Hi Francoise,
My first I was induced at 42 weeks. Second time round I went with midwifery care - we fully expected to have a long pregnancy again adn wanted less pressure.
Well, at 42+1 I decided to have a stretch & sweep, which my midwife performed at my house. (so technically I did have some intervention to bring on labour, but not a full inductino)

We discussed things previously and I decided I would go in for monitoring at around 42 weeks (and likewise would not consider an S&S till then).
So I went to the hospital at 42+2 and everything looked fine. The doc said induction. We said not unless there's a medical reason.
He was very taken aback by this and got a bit flustered! Kept insisting that just because things looked ok now, didn't mean they would still be ok later (of course, I realise that!) and that, well, it's hospital policy (NOT a good enough reason for me!).
Well, as it turned out, labour started that afternoon and she was born the following evening.

It sseems quite a few medical practitioners in maternity care think it's their responsibility to make all decisions etc - and they really get bent out of shape if you try to take responsibility for yourself (as is quite right, in my opinion, since it's your body on the line and your baby!).

The same doctor who was so insistent that we should induce - because it's hospital policy and all - was really good after the birth. I had a PPh and he came in and explained all the options, including all the risks and benefits of each, and gave his recommendation and then encouraged me to think about it and let him know what I wanted. Wow - so once the baby's out I'm suddenly capable of making rational decisions, hey?

Anyway - I hope your baby decides to make his or her appearance very soon and you have a beautiful birth!
