You didn't alarm me at all. I had read the stuff about the problems with inductions before so feel informed about the risks and benefits etc.

I am disappointed that I am heading down the path of an induction, especially since my ob was pretty sure I would be going into labour naturally based on my cervix and the babies position etc at my last few appointments!

I wil go ahead with Thursday if nothing happens between now and then but I will be holding out as long as I can following the ARM in the hope that I cotractions begin naturally.

Thank you for your advice... I am a first time mummy so I appreciate the advice of those who have done it before!
