Am I allowed to request date for induction? Is it within my birth rights?
With my DS I was rushed into hospital with pre eclampsia and induced at 38 weeks. Baby was born 7 hours later. It was really scary and stressful so I want to avoid this happening at all costs this time.
I'm 30 weeks tomorrow with my 2nd baby and my anxiety is through the roof about this happening again as I cant be rushing off to the hospital if at all possible as MIL is looking after DS and lives around 30mins away but will most likely have to get taxi here. But also the severe pain I was in was awful and I don't want to experience that again.
My consultant doesn't reckon I will go full term anyways due to the risk of pre eclampsia happening again but hasn't said anything about induction date but I don't want to wait and then the potential for something bad to happen does when it could have been avoided if I'd been induced.
Ideally I'd like an induction day so I've got something to work towards and I can make sure MIL can get to mine ok to watch DS but mainly to help my anxiety and stress levels.
