I am 40+10 with baby 3 and they want me to be induced in 2 days time due to being overdue. Baby and i are fine, movements good, growth scan fine and no complications.
I have had 2 sweeps, am 2cm dilated and cervix 'favourable'. Have had period like pains for a couple of days but very mild.
I have decided to be monitored for a couple of days to see if I go into labour naturally. baby active and moving well.
Baby 1 was induction (pessary and drip) as waters leaked at 40+10. The drip was so painful, epidural didn't work well though DD1 was delivered naturally after 12 hour labour and was never in any distress. The drip was really really horrible, I had a pph (haemmorrage) snd threw up due to the drug.
Baby 2 was natural labour at 40+8 after a sweep and 4 hour labour, so easy!
I am so afraid of having the drip again as was so horrible - what would you do in my place? Delay the induction for a bit as long as baby and I fine?
