A bit of background. This is Dc2. Dc1 I was induced at 40 weeks due to pre eclamspia. 1 pessary, caused hyperstimulation which had to be stopped with medication. Waters broke on their own, after 40 hours of painful contractions I only dilated to 2cm, fetal distress meant I ended up with an emergency c-section. Horrendous recovery from it, scar opened up and I got an infection. Couldn't even walk for weeks. Ended up with postnatal depression, didn't bond with ds. I'm extremely keen to avoid a csection and really wanted to go into labour on my own this time. However I've got high blood pressure again, albeit very well controlled on small amounts of medication. Being pressured into induction at 40+6. Had 2 sweeps from 39 weeks, cervix soft but not dilated at all so I know my body just isn't ready. In an ideal world I'd love to wait until 42 weeks to see if I go into labour on my own. My dates make me 4/5 days less than the NHS scan put me too ( private scan also agreed with me). At the same time baby isn't a big mover, has never had a pattern and I've been in for reduced movements about 5 times. Sometimes I barely feel any movement all day. Should I just go ahead with the induction? If anything happened to the baby I'd feel terrible. I just can't help feeling sick with worry as I just know it will end in another c-section. As it is a balloon induction this time it'll be a long process and a long hospital stay. I just feel terrible for my son being at home without me. Sorry for the long message.
