I'm currently 40+1 today and went in yesterday because I hadn't felt baby move as much as I'd like. A couple of movements, had drank the cold water, had a bath lay on my side etc and wasn't happy so went in to be monitored.
Baby was okay and the little machine picked up all it needed for me to go home. Baby started moving whilst on the machine and lots more after.
They didn't let me go home and had me waiting for the registrar, slightly confused as I had been in 1 time before with reduced movements at 33 weeks, the machine did its job and off I went home (we moved house that day, I think I'd missed said movements!)
Anyway, turns out they want to induce me on Monday because I'm 40+ weeks and with reduced movements baby is safer out than in.
I'm high risk due to high bmi but apparently this has nothing to do with it.
I went into labour after a stretch and sweep with my first baby; I was however 1 week over due.
They gave me a stretch and sweep yesterday but it hasn't worked. I have 1 more on Sunday to try and get this moving naturally but if not I'll be induced.
I've watched someone being induced, it really doesn't look fun and I'm worried that it won't work and end up in some emergency if baby just isn't ready.
Has anyone got any advise as to this? Been in the same situation? I'm right to just go with the induction, right?
