45 at how many weeks would they induce me

[Piercy]

Hello

I posted before about being pregnant and it not expecting it - DH and I still talking options through but one question being 45 and the risks of stillborn are higher if you go full term - so my question is at how many weeks would they induce me?

I think it depends on hospitals, mine is at 39 weeks but lots of other people have said 38 weeks at theirs

I'm 41, OP, and considered high risk because of that. I've been told that they will start stretch and sweep from 38 weeks, then I'll be induced at 40 weeks if I haven't gone into labour before then. I'm in Warwickshire so not sure if that's a local NHS thing or just my hospital.

Watching with interest, nearly 44 and currently 30 weeks. I knew they would not let me go over the 40 weeks but hadn't actually considered when I would be induced. DD2 came of her own accord at 38 weeks so hoping it will all kick off naturally.
