You could try telling them how they're making you feel, and let them know that if it continues you will need to take your concerns further and explore other birthing options. Ask for another care provider. Or employ your own!
Re the business of "not to go beyond 7 days overdue" - simply don't turn up for your induction appointment! If your babies need to be inside for 42 weeks, then this is what they need! As you mentioned, they didn't look over due when they were born. An induction at 41 weeks may well be a week early for this baby.
"I have not had good experiences with any ob's in the labour ward and on the whole they have been completely unsupportive and unhelpful." - so, why do you continue to see them? Do you have other options? If you didn't like your mechanic would you go back? Sorry if this sounds hash, but birthing services will not change until women vote with their feet. If this sort of "care" is not working for you, tell them assertively, ask them how they see you working together and if nothing changes, you need to explore other options for your pregnancy and birth care, such as employing the services of a private obstetrician or midwife.
The only time I turn up to birth a baby is full blown labour. They can make all the induction appointments they like, you don't have to turn up....
What this posterior business? My son was posterior and I knew nothing about it until I was an hour from giving birth - with no problems, oh except they didn't tell me he was posterior
