Hi,
I'm now officially overdue- DS is feeling v comfortable inside, happily fidgeting, all vitals seem fine. (Being checked daily now)
I had planned a homebirth (water birth) and am very reluctant to go in for a hospital birth. (My last labour expereince has left "some" emotional scars from the time that we transferred in to the hospital after a prolong 2nd stage)
I cannot imagine having to go through labour without being in the water (which I couldn't be if I was induced) and am really afraid of the crash labour that an induction may bring on.
How long does one let baby decide when they want to be born?
Has anyone tried successfully any herbal remedies for inducing labour?
From discussions with the community midwives in my area they would still support me with a homebirth, within reason and if all seemed fine.
