Thanks so much girls.

I rang the hospital and spoke to the midwife yesterday, rang my sister in law (who is a GP) and spoke to her as well. You are all right in that it comes down to my preference. DH is keen on the induction but indicates that it is up to me because I will have to do most of the work.

PrincessXanThe - I guess my biggest fear is stillbirth and I really want my bub to be safe... she will definitely be safer if she is delievered and in my arms right now! . My OB probably senses my anxiety throughout this pregnancy and that is probably the reason why he suggested it (and probably it is more convenient for him if it was planned during his hospital round anyway).

BG, Marcellus and Babywannabe, thanks for sharing your experience, I guess everyone is different in their experiences. However, I do know one thing from reading and talking to everyone - induction would be more painful and could be more traumatic.

After careful consideration, I think I will wait for another week if required. And as suggested by Cassius2 and Preagainpan I will request for monitoring. Hopefully I won't have to worry and bub would come out soon.

Thanks everyone for you input and advice.
