Hi there

I'm due to have my first baby in 4 days, and I am not coping mentally at all.

I have ranted and raved on other forums about this, but I'm honestly curious (and please do not judge me, or tell me I'm being an idiot - if I wanted those comments I'd ask for them, I'm simply here to ask one question).

Is it possible to request an induction this late, due to your mental health?

I'm through the public system, haven't got a specific OB or anything, was seeing the midwives through Shared Care with my GP but don't have any appts now until I'm 41 weeks.

I'm honestly not coping with this at all, I've always been a very emotional person, have had anxiety and depression in the past (to the point of self-harming - this was a few years ago) and it's all starting to come back now (the anxiety and such). Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to hurt myself, or my baby, or anything like that.

I know an excess of hormones in these last weeks is normal, but I'm seriously not coping and am already considering going into hospital and lying to try and get them to induce me.

I just don't know how to handle this anymore...

Help?
