Can you refuse induction

[BEO]

Has anyone refused an induction and what happened? I am approaching my 33rd week of pregnancy and hope to go into Labour naturally. For many reasons I do not want to be induced. Has anyone refused an induction then went over and had baby naturally or a c-section?

preganncy is uncomplicated, did have a growth scan and measured big so have an app with consultant when I will be 34 weeks. I know they might give me different options then but if everything is ok I don’t want to be induced and would rather have a section over that.

so yeah just hoping from stories for people who felt the same??

And I know some people have uncomplicated and quick births from being induced But the majority of people I know didn’t and we’re in hospital for days requiring intervention at the end anyway.

@BEO Yes that’s my point? One isn’t automatically better than the other

I refused an induction because the majority seem to fail or end in emergency sections. If I was going to have a section I wanted it to be planned - so it was, only a few days in advance because my pregnancy needed to end as my blood pressure was becoming dangerous. It was the most beautiful experience and I shall be opting for an elective should I be lucky enough to have any further pregnancies
