Oh yeah, the internals are meaningless unless they do a S&S which I don't think they would do at 36w. So I'm also confused about why they are offered and what it would achieve? Your current dilation, effacement and engagement cannot predict labour onset. As for the S&S, I'm trying to talk myself down from a formal induction into regular S&S only, as what I've read indicates that though they don't work for everyone, they do drastically reduce the chances of going post 41 weeks.





you will just feel more ripped off when it doesn't work. i don't understand why you would want, or they would do, VEs from 36 weeks - it's not even 'full term' yet, its unneccessary and a potential source of infection let alone the psychological effect of 'nothing is happening' or 'i am x cm dilated, why is labour not starting'.
