Feeling overwhelmed

I know your pain! I’m 40+5 and I’m so over it now I’m so scared off being induced 😢😕

I’m due in 3 days and feel the same way 🥲 not so scared of going into labour naturally but terrified of being induced

@Abbie I told them don’t want to be induced as it takes too long and may end up in c-section anyway.. and I’m high risk, counting the days now 🫣

I think I’m going to end up being c-section myself! I’m high risk too I’ve got low iron and I’m anemic :( with my blood pressure being high :(

@Abbie scared of being overdue right now as She might gain too Much weight 😢 but they don t seem to bother and I’m on the waiting list for c-section , hopefully soon I will have a date 😣

@Marria I’m terrified in case something goes wrong, like having contractions but no water braking and reverse so they need to use medication 🫣 hope everything will be alright in the end

@Abbie but they don t offer u a date for induction so far?

I’m booked in Tuesday 21st to be induced x

@Abbie ahhh ok Good Luck 🙏

I feel you. I’m 40+3 and refused 2 inductions so far hoping be comes before Thursday as I’m booked in for one then but I’ve been low risk until a recent find on a scan which has scared me but trusted my gut that everything’s ok. They can only find out what’s wrong by breaking my waters. The end is tough ladies.

@Abbey yeah , and feeling like goes so slow like forever gonna be pregnant 😫

42 weeks today! We rescheduled our induction as baby's movements are fine. It's so hard going from just focusing on being pregnant to then having to be some sort of expert in the risks and benefits and knowing what you want for you and baby! We feel fine, but starting to feel the pressure for induction. Just not sure I want to force my body to do something it's not ready to do. But ultimately sooooooooo many women get induced or have C-sections and meet their lovely babies, heal well and everyo is ok 😊🥰. There's a lot of fear on this thread but I have so many friends who have had all sorts of births and they're all great! Anyone else delaying induction here? Well done for doing what feels best for you @Abbey. Can't believe you've already had to refuse two!

My midwife wouldn't suggest anything until 40 weeks. We are 40 weeks today, sweep booked on Wednesday as I don't mind manual muscle manipulation to see. It's mad how our stories are all so different when it comes to inducing, more so with the low risk pregnancies x

I was induced with my first and I’ll be honest it was a horrible experience I’m super grateful that she got here safe & at the end of it that’s all that really matters. But I’m just over 38 weeks now and really don’t want another induction but if I need to have one then I have too im trying to stay positive and hope for the best and like I said along as he’s here safely that’s all I can ask for x

@Charlotte well I’m high risk so don’t want to wait too long max 40+6 but they don’t seem to book me nothing yet 😣

@Lauren I refused induction as I’ve heard so many horrible stories and honestly c-section recovery is not that bad after all xx
