    Can I beat an induction 4th time round?

    Hi everyone :-)
    So I'm 32 weeks with baby number 4. My last 3 pregnancies have been induced due to post dates and hospital policies.
    I REALLY want to beat induction this time so hit me with all your ideas on what I can do and when I can start doing it?

    Just refuse induction, it really is that simple, you'll be told this and that about hospital policy but what it comes down to is inducing you against your will is obviously assault and they have a legal responsible to provide medical attention to you. i.e hospitals say they dont offer breec but if a woman refuses c/section and baby doesn't turn the legal responsibility is to provide support to the woman

    You can ALWAYS beat an induction. Policy isnt law. Even today at a birth in a public hospital, a midwife said a woman can get a physiological third stage if she fights it.

    I was induced at 42 weeks with DS. With DD I went for monitoring but refused any talk of induction unless they could give me a medical reason. We were comfortable with that. OB wasn't and it went against hospital policy, but it wasn't up to them, it's up to me.
    She was born at 42+3 and was fine
