Brilliant Kelly! Does that mean, do you think, one could state when one was overdue enough to let them try induction "OK, i'll have the drip for 10 hours but if it doesn't work i'm going home again."?

I'm betting some "foetal distress" would be magicked out of the ether to warrant the following c-section. I know 3 women who had sections for "failture to progress" and one was already 4cm when the drip was put in and only given 3 hours (still at 4cm - BUT examined by a different midwife, making the whole thing very subjective and pointless) on the drip before the scalpel came out!
