When you say you dont have your own OB, do you mean your going through an antenatal clinic at the hospital, or doing midwife only care, shared care etc?
It depends on the hospital, OB and how assertive you can be. They may not do it before 40 weeks though. Id get the physio to put something in writing or speak directly with your care provider, and if you arent happy with their response ask whom you need to speak with.
Kim - I would have made a complaint regarding your care with DD1 if you had those symptoms i dont know what reasoning they used not to let you be induced?
Hey Gardener - are you talking about SPD/PGP? I've been reading up on it myself because I am getting it for the first time ever and they recommend for best outcomes to not induce unless otherwise medically necessary. It runs the risks of further intervention and damage to the symphysis pubis.
If not, then I would take all the info to them and hope for the best, but they probably wont agree to it until 40+1
I asked this exact question and geez some of the responses i got! I had SPD and an almost 4 year old to look after. I got to the point where id stand up and id have to swing my left leg to get my hip moving in the right direction and then id have to get walking really fast to keep the momentum. Id spend most of the day standing up cause once id sit down it was almost impossible to get back up!
My midwife (public hospital) said they probly would induce me unless they had to but to ask again as i got closer to my dues date, only i never got close to my due date because bub came on her own 2 weeks early!
