Thanks for the comments, had my appointment today, now have a bishop score of 6, managed to have a stretch and sweep and baby is fine. Even having mild contractions. Hope to go into labor naturally over the weekend but have the option of being induced Friday, Sunday or Monday, which ever we want.
The Ob we saw was a bit scary and quoted all the statistics and covered her self medically but the midwife was lovely and really helped us make the choice we wanted.
I was really worried about being pressured into something today but knowing what and how i wanted things to go made me able to get a little closer to the birth i want.
Good on you. With DD1 I went to my last appt before my 2 days before my due date. The ob didn't do an internal or anything to see how & was going, but booked me in for an induction that Monday. 3 days over.
When I told mu mum she said it's not right & that induction will be harder than natural, so I rang my gp. He rang my OB & made sure there was no medical reason for the induction. The OB said there wasn't so he rang back & told me that he personally doesn't even talk about induction til 10 days over.
I went back to my OB the next Wed & nothing was said about induction again. I don't think he was too pleased that I questioned him. Especially since I was only 18 & didn't know much.
Anyway, I went into labour the next Sat morning at 12.30am.
With DD2 I only saw my GP. I was 40+2. He did a stretch & sweep, no talk of induction & I had DD on the Sunday morning at 41 weeks.
A friend of mine recently went 42+1.
