Do you think it's possible to request a second opinion? So far we've had 3 growth scans on the 50th centile, one on the 80th, then another just slightly below the 50th centile. General agreement is that the 80th centile scan was measured wrong, but I asked about the last scan and they got the doctor on the phone after he came out of theatre to check and he/she recommended induction at due date. I'm not happy as there were no problems showing on the scan with placenta, hb and monitoring shows she is happy. I had a sweep the same day as the scan and cervix is still closed, thick and posterior, so obviously not ready yet. I can't see that changing in 4-5 days, so induction could be more difficult and I'm worried about causing baby distress and everything ending in a section/forceps/epidural. This is my 4th baby and all 3 other births have been straightforward and normal. Is there anything I can do do you think?
