Hi shanti, I feel like I'm always replying to you at the moment! Sorry if I'm being annoying, I just feel like I can relate to you so much at the moment with what you're going through.
I got induced both times (as you already know) lol. With ds1 I was really against being induced, so I decided to go until 14 days over. I was monitored every day in the last 7 days before the induction.
Stop thinking for a moment about Doctors words and what the doctor thinks you can do.
Now...start thinking about YOU. What is YOUR BODY saying? Do YOU feel ok right now? Does everything feel 'normal' to YOU?
Feeling pressured will impact on the labour so I think you need to stop thinking about what others say and look inside of you.
Don't think complications. Don't think interventions. Just think "I trust myself". Seriously...you've done this before and your going to do this again...
I'm not sure about how quickly the cervix ripens/dialates. I went 12 days over. However I had the choice to go further if I wanted to. I wish I had as I was 4cm dialated going into induction (had waters broken) but being my first bub's and not really having a clue, I just went along with what the nurses suggested. Luckily that's the only intervention that was neccessary as I went into labour on my own.
I don't think that you are being irresponsible at all!! They will most likely monitor bub's daily after the 10/12 days anyway. Good luck and I hope that something happens in the meantime Think Positive!!
