I'm a first timer, currently 40+5, no signs of labour approaching, no pains no braxton hicks no show/mucus zilch. Tried all the old wives takes curry, sex, walking etc.
Had my second sweep yesterday which hasn't resulted in anything. my notes say 'posterior cervix 1cm dilated, 1.5cm, -3 station'. I don't really know what this means? But the dr booked me in for induction at 41+1 (3 days time) so I guess it doesn't look favourable that labour wil start from my cervix?
I'm so so anxious as I really wanted a natural birth. Is this normal to be booked in at 41+1? I asked the midwife she said maybe that's the only day they have a bed! I've had a straight forward pregnancy.
Am I more likely to have a c section if induced :-(
I have a 30 day cycle & usually ovulate around day 19 so I'm worried about the dates too :(
Would you ask to postpone the induction? I'm so confused & anxious I rang the midwife and she just said still birth rate goes up.
Hoping for some advice please
