I'm toying up with the idea of asking to be induced and just looking for experiences/advice. I've been lucky so far that my two previous births have been straightforward, natural births so I know I am able to do it and normally wouldnt consider an induction, but this time around, things are a bit more complicated:
Bub has a medical condition and so I am delivering at a city hospital an hour away. DH works in the city, so if I went into labour and needed him to come home first, it will take us at least 2 hours to get back to the hospital. My last labour was only 4 hours long, and I went from being 4cm to DS being out within 1.5hours. So I'm worried that we won't make it to the hospital in time. Part of me is wondering if I'll feel more comfortable being induced so that I don't have this worry of making it to the hospital in time.
The other thing is that it may well be bub's that makes the decision that she needs to come out now and i end up being induced or having a cs. And I'm wondering for my peace of mind, if having the date set for an induction will help with the worry of how bub is faring inside.
