I am 41 weeks today with my third. I have been told by my midwives that my trust now recommends induction at 41 weeks. Baby number 1 born at 42+2 after a long and painful induction. Baby number 2 born at 41+5 , naturally (after a sweep) lovely birth experience. I am really keen to repeat my second birth and give my body as long as reasonable to go naturally. But obviously also don’t want to wait and end up being induced anyway and risk being away from my children over Christmas. What would you do?
baby very healthy, lots of movement, low risk pregnancy. I would never normally go against medical advise but feel strongly that in the same way some womens cycleslast 28-35 days, some women just carry longer pregnancies and that is perfectly fine and healthy for them.
