Thanks everyone for your replies.

Yep nothing has happened still. No waters breaking. And the de-plugging has stopped!lol

Yes the induction thing. Well to be honest guys, as this is going to sound really stupid. Im now scratching my head also, as to why am i really getting induced!

I went for an internal last weds. And they scored me on the bishop score of 3. While there are no serious health issues, like blood pressure. There was concerns that bubs might be really big. But then even the doctor didnt base this on the fact that i would get induced for this. But more on the fact that Im favourable to getting induced, because im a 3 on the bishop scale???. So im not sure what to think??

My due date is actually today. So im 40 weeks today. So i have doubts about whether its really necessary on me getting induced! Im thinking ive gone this far, might as well wait it out naturally?

Im thinking she has booked me for an induction just for convenience for the hospital or something. Stupid me either didnt ask enough questions, or the right ones??

Im thinking of ringing up my shared cared gp and middy, to see what they say, and maybe the antinatal clinic. Cause im a little lost at this point.

Hi, I would think you are well on the way to going into labour by yourself and would definately be holding off, getting induced is not heaps of fun generally, because your labour usually starts off really hard instead of warming into it, my plug came out around 5 days before I went into labour, I was 10 days overdue and my doc had just started talking about doing something. I think you will find it won't be long now, exciting is'nt it!!!!!

Oh Mel, I'm sorry to hear things haven't started to happen yet on there own. But congrats on reaching your due date. I think you might have just hit the nail on the head, with your thoughts on it being more convienent for the hospital for them to induce you on monday, rather than it being in your best interest. From what I have read and learnt, unnecessary intervention normally leads to further intervention. If it were me, I would definately being ringing to ask why the induction for Monday, or telling them that I would much prefer to wait for my body to start on it's own. If you are already 3cm dilated, then your body to obviously capable to do things on it's own, why rush it!! Trust yourself and trust your body, they won't leave you astray like some hospitals might....... But like I said that would just be me, lol.
