Hi. Just had scan at 38 weeks - baby measuring mid 9lbs . The hospital are keen to induce me on or before due date because of size and my age (I'm an old 37?!)
Any advice on this? Or any medical reason why they're suggesting induction or risk to baby if I don't accept induction?
I'm keen to go naturally but obviously wouldn't put my baby or me at risk ....
All advice / knowledge greatly appreciated. Thanks x

Are there actually any medical benefits to this or are they just trying to prevent a traumatic birth?
