    Most won't do it until you are full term so at 40+1 I don't see why not to have it.
    Natural induction techniques will only work if the baby is ready anyway, so it doesn't hurt to give it a go!

    Yep most wont actively induce until your due date, but labour preparation acupuncture should start 35/36 weeks to get the best from it.

    That's what I was worried about A, didn't want to do anything before the baby was ready iykwim. So if baby is not ready it's not actually going to force it out like a medical induction!! lol.
