Induction - for/against discussion

Hi all
I'm 40 weeks today. Had a scan this morning, he's 8.1lb. All looks good, plenty of amniotic fluid, having a low risk pregnancy. (had been having scans to keep an eye on his weight as he was on the 10th centile for ages) but all good and caught up.

My consultant has me booked in to be induced on the 12th. I don't know how to feel about this as I was hoping for a low interference birthing experience seeing as I have no complications. I've heard stories of inductions escalating into a cascade of interventions.

Just need a hand hold and some of your experiences with being induced?

Congratulations OP, sorry it didn't work out how you would have hoped, but great that you have your DS safely in your arms

I had inductions with both of mine. There have been several tragic outcomes with people I know who waited so id much rather have baby out safe and sound.
