I had an OB say exactly the same.
My induction with DD1 was booked for 2 days over due. My mum chucked a fit about him oushing me into it & told me to discuss it with my gp. I did & he rang my ob to see if there was any medical reason for the induction.
There wasn't, so I didn't do it. Went into spontaneous labour at 8 days over.
