Hi,
I have my local NHS trust pushing for an induction this Tuesday the 15th. At the moment I am 40+5 and so feeling a little fed up but of the opinion that I shouldn't rush things. Originally I had been due the 12th but was put forward to the 7th of May at my first dating scan... later I needed 4 or 5 growth scans because the baby was considered too small! All is well though and the consultants consider it will be a small buy healthy baby and I am still low risk.
I just feel the baby needs a little more cooking. I really am against inducing if there is no medical need to I can feel the niggles of early labour with pain and backache and I am apparently 1cm.
I have read all the information from the nhs on continuing past 41 weeks in terms of risk and the risks of induction but I just want to know from experience how far I can or should push it. Something doesn't feel right about starting it early if nothing is wrong :( midwives are worrying me saying I should never let it go past 10 days... is that true ??
