Tegan I am with you in that I don't understand why I cannot be induced either as I had also heard that that is what the gel is there for.

My Ob has said that the way he induces is by first breaking the waters and also having the drip attached, he rarely uses the gel. Maybe that is why he isn't? I might ring him and ask but I don't want to seem pushy....

As for c/s I would prefer not to do that but if necessary so be it. Ob has said we will wait till my due date and then reassess. DH has also said he would prefer for me not to have a c/s if possible too.

Might have to go out and buy some evening primrose oil tablets!
