Yeah - thanks Puzzle. I know they can't force me to do it. But last time they were pretty heavy handed about trying to 'encourage' me. One midwife got downright stroppy with me, so I actually left and made an appointment to see someone else the following day who was much more sympathetic.
I just don't want to have to start raging and battling with them in my last few days of pregnancy.
Fingers crossed this one will come out a little earlier anyway. I feel like it might come earlier than DD did.
I have nothing against induction in theory -if there is a good reason- but I can't help feeling that if the pregnancy is progressing OK and there is nothing wrong (no deteriorating placenta or anything) then leave well alone.
I also resented the 'stay away from sugar' comment as if I am gestating some inappropriately ginormous baby elephant. Although I do feel fairly, I am pretty sure I am smaller than I was with DD.
And I think that measuring your tummy with a tape measure is a pretty inaccurate way of assessing baby's size.
Anyway will stop thinking about it and face that battle if and when I need to.
Am feeling reasonably perked up after treating myself to a bit of a once-over. Got myself thoroughly waxed and bought some new exfoliants and lovely smelly creams, oils and potions, so am generally feeling a bit less un-glamorous. The skin on my face is already looking much better after 2 days of pampering. Less spotty, more glowing etc etc.
