Was at hospital today for monitoring, currently 40+10, and myself and baby are both absolutely fine. When cervix was checked it had softened a little from last check 6 days ago but was still unfavourable for a sweep.
I asked to wait to 42 weeks (Monday) and see how things were. However I was told that it could take several days of prostin gel to kick start my labour (as I am in my 40s, first child and unfavourable cervix) and by that stage I would be well past my dates and.....the "baby's reserves would be depleted" by this stage making him less able to cope with labour and likely to become distressed, resulting in a CS. She advised me the best way for me to avoid a section was to be admitted for induction tonight. I refused, it sounded like gobble-di-gook to me, and I needed time to think (and ask mnet ),
Any opinions on this one?
