I'm 40+4 but it feels like my body is just not ready to give birth. Have had a very straightforward pregnancy and the baby just doesn't feel 'ready'. Still very high up and not engaged or effaced at all.
I am provisionally booked in for an induction on Monday. I do realise anything could happen between now and then, but does anyone have any advice on going on past their induction date? I know the risks with the placenta, but I am monitoring closely and baby is moving about as per normal. Will of course discuss this with my midwife later in the week but I know she will advise induction and I'm curious to see what others have experienced.
