thanks for your replies. the other complications i was refering to are the ones i have read about in books. babies born after 42 weeks can be bigger, and have dry skin, and also they could do their first poo in the womb and then could breath this in and get sick. if i dont have the induction on tuesday then i wont be able to have one until the week after which means i will be over 42 weeks by then. of course i would be allowing the extra days for baby to come when she chooses but then again she may not choose and i will have to be induced anyway! ahhh, its a hard choice! thanks though.
