Does anyone go into Labour naturally anymore?

[hellosunshineagainx]

Ok tell me if aibu. But I am 31 so lots of friends and family having first babies, out of the ten the past three years only ONE has gone into Labour naturally. Is this normal or are healthcare providers too quick to induce?

I had a failed induction leading to a cascade of intervention including a emergency C-section where I haemorrhaged and then had an infection.

We were both in hospital over a week. I was only induced as I was overdue but my cervix was so unfavourable they couldn't even do a sweep so I perhaps am quite biased.

Mum of 6 , first 4 naturally started, no.5 sadly stillborn , was induced early to get baby 6 out safely

Both of mine. One on his due date, the other 38+3.

I did with both (sex helped trigger it!) at 39+3 and 40+4 - both textbook and quick labours in midwife led unit (one on land, one in a birthing pool) and one took 4.5 hours, the other 2.5. I was extremely lucky!

I did. 38 weeks

I did- at 40+2 and 38+5.

I did with all three!
First born 39+2
Second born 39 weeks
Third 40+2 ( did have a sweep with this one though!)

Yep first baby 40+3 but 40+5 by the time she came and second baby 40+6
