Tobily, yes I will do some research - in fact, that's why my ob 'warned' me that an induction might be on the cards. I think you misunderstood - he certainly is not going to do it one day over - that's just when my next appointment is! We will try to book it in for the maximum 'safe' time I'm sure, as he is completely willing to allow me to take the lead in my own pregnancy. But thanks for your concern and for all the info you other ladies have provided. I'll let you know...
