Reason to induce? FTW virus (Failure To Wait). That's not a reason to induce. Not good enough.
I read a great story yesterday. A woman 43 weeks pregnant was under pressure to be induced. Her Ob rang her at her home and ordered her to present herself next morning for induction or he would bail out of being her care provider. She sought out an independent midwife and got a second opinion. About 48 hours later she went into labour naturally and gave birth at home with this midwife attending.
Firefly, you sound confident in your body's health and capabilities and you sound like you are ready and able to take back responsibility. A different opinion from a care provider with a different model of care might be all you need for your confidence, that you are clinging to so bravely, to soar.
Good on you, hope it all goes really well. Blessings for your birth.
