We went to 42+3. They (public hospital) wanted to induce at 41+5 but I refused & was supported by my birth centre midwife and my bub was monitored daily from 42 weeks on. Had an ultrasound at 41+6 to check amniotic fluid levels which were fine and the head Ob was happy for us to continue waiting even though it wasn't the norm.
I was eventually induced after 4 days of pre labour not going anywhere and getting very tired. I'm still glad I waited though as we had an awesome labour as I had given my body the best chance to prepare for labour and was fully engaged & dilated by the time I had the syntocin drip.
