Currently 41+4 and saw midwife yesterday for a sweep. I've had a straightforward pregnancy so far and am low risk. She said cervix still had a way to go and I'm not starting to dilate yet - she offered to book me in for an out-patient induction tomorrow afternoon which I agreed to but I'm now having second thoughts!
Since then I'm feeling reluctant to be induced and that if baby is doing fine still then I should just see how things go. Midwife said there would increased monitoring after 42 weeks which reassures me.
I'm not keen for an induction as it would mean a hospital delivery instead of the midwife-led unit and usual increased risk of interventions etc.
Does anyone have any experience of this or advice to offer?
