Yeah, I have to say this has happened to me... and I wasn't told until the day my waters broke!

My OB said - I can induce you today if you want me to do it, otherwise if you wait til tomorrow I'll be having the weekend off at my farm!

AAAAAAAARGGGGGGGGGGGGH!

In the end I waited because I wanted my body to do what it had to do when it was ready... and his filler inner man, who I'd never met, was fabulous.

I think a lot of OB's have job sharing arrangements in place and in my case, mine was on two weekends a month.

You do feel a bit ripped off tho, having paid all your money etc, and then ending up showing your bits to someone you've never even had a chat with!
