So yesterday I had my 40 week appt at the hospital. I have been doing GP/shared care and TBH I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
I see a different OB at each hospital appt, and I have to see an OB rather than a MW, even though my pregnancy is low risk and the chance of an OB being present at the birth is minimal.
Yesterday's OB surprised me by being incredibly HONEST.
She said I was to book an appt for next Wed when I'll be 41 weeks. She said they'll want to do an internal and book me in for an induction.
I responded by saying, 'but we'll wait a little longer than 7 days before inducing, won't we?'
And her answer was, "We'll call the birth suite and see how busy they are".
There were no platitudes like, "We'll see how the placenta is functioning" or "We'll see how the baby is doing"... I was shocked by how open she was about it. It all comes down to their schedule, LOL! I am almost too amused to be angry.
