Just something I've been pondering recently during my pregnancy insomnia riddled nights! My due date is looming, with DC1 my waters broke but never went into labour, wondering with this one if I will ever experience it.
A lot of the chat on here and other forums women mention being booked in for an induction - why is it so common for a woman to not go into labour? I'm not sure of the percentage but seems a high rate just from reading threads here (though I accept you probably don't get as many people posting 'average' delivery stories).
Before we had the medical know how would women have just been left even longer than 42 weeks and been ok or were there more casualties as a result of this?
