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.
