Hi, this is my first time posting and would just like to see if anyone has experienced anything similar.
My DS was born 2 years ago at 42 wks, he was 7lbs which I thought was a fairly average weight. I was induced...it was hell! (Understatement)
I'm now 40 years old and expecting my 2nd baby in November. I had my consultant appt today and they are pushing me to be induced at 39 wks, the reasons being my age and also because my DS was low birth weight which I find really confusing as I though 7lbs was a good birth weight. Anyway I had a very rude consultant telling me I was risking a still born baby if I didn't choose to be induced.
Don't get me wrong, I would not want to go over 42 weeks but feel but being induced brings a whole load of other problems and I get the feeling they are just trying to scare me. I can't find any evidence to 7lb being a low birth weight.
Has anyone else experienced this and gone against being induced??
