...and did you end up having one anyway?
I'm current 41 plus 1. I'm planning a home birth and it's my second child. I saw my midwife today who is totally on board with HB etc and has booked me in for an induction on tues when I will be plus 14, I think our area is usually plus 12 but as I want a HB she has advised me to wait til 14. She has said that I can go to appointment and decline induction at which point they will do a scan to check baby's ok then if all fine I can go home and wait it out with further monitoring next day etc. I can still have a HB but it will be against medical advice. first child was 10 days late. Does anyone have any experience of doing this,did you end up having an induction anyway? Obviously I don't want to take risks with baby's health etc but sort of feel if all well it will just come when it's ready. Any experiences/advice? Many thanks

That was exactly my expectation of induction and, like Honey I have never had any experience of hospital. I didn't like having a drip in and it did annoy me during labour but it wasn't awful. It made me think that if there had been more interventions that they might not have been as horrible as I imagined as well.

Also, it's so worth it for the end result :)

Lots of luck, will keep my fingers crossed for you all!
