I refused induction at 10 days over. I was scared of being induced that it would lead to further interventions and possible c section. The doctors pushed my induction date to 42 weeks and I said we could re-access then If baby wasn't here as all monitoring was fine. You have no idea, well actually I am sure you do, How hard it was as I just wanted the baby out. I walked everyday, inserted EPO capsules and 2 days later I went into labour naturally. Dd came early the next morning, so on the 13th day past dates. It was a natural labour and birth.

Stick to your guns if you don't want to be induced. Have some info to back you up is d a support person to go with you to your appointments who will speak up for you if needed.

Hi I was after some advice..
This is my firsy baby I`ve been trying for many years.
I`m 42 with gestational diabeties so in the eyes of the hospital staff in a HIGH risk category.
I have my heart set on a natural birth, I`ve been doing hypno therapy and yoga to prepare for the birth .
Now I`ve been told my baby is 8.2 pounds and I`m 37 weeks so .... The doctors are extremely keen to induce me,
I`ve read some awful things about being induced and the high raate of women being induced then a few hours into the labour having a ceaser-due to the body not being ready to birth naturally.and the hormones given don`t prepare the body like the natural on set of birth.

any advice?
Merci and many thanks.
