Hi guys rather long one just seeing how it went for others waiting on Induction, wondering If anyone as had a similar issue to deal with, I'm currently 39 weeks pregnant EDD 24/01/25 I'm high risk due to previous loss, GD and growth restrictions i have had consultant led care my whole pregnancy and growth scans every 2 weeks, i was ment to have an Induction on the 10th it got pushed back to the 15th then and again to today on the 18th, I told my consultant at my last appointment I was happy to wait to see If I go naturally as I feel if they were majorly concerned my date wouldn't keep being pushed back, I rang this morning at 10am as told to, to be informed no beds atm try again at 2pm, I feel I will ring again at 2pm and get the same answer, I feel after this I may just try and down right refuse Induction as I have already tried to do so but been told I need to have one, I find utterly ridiculous and if they found it that concerning surely I would be in faster as a priority if not why am I using up a bed someone more important may need when I can wait for baby to come on there own, is this just me getting stressed over nothing anyone else had a similar experience?

What's the situation? Are you being induced? X

I remember turning up for mine and they'd forgot to book me in, and had no beds, the woman on the desk went to speak to the doctor who looked at my notes and said I was not to go home and they had to sort a bed for me that day. They managed to move some stuff around and got me a bed after a few hours, can you speak with your consultant and ask what the plan is and why they seem happy with the current situation?
