With my first pregnancy I was induced at 41+3 ending in a C-section the following day. I had a VBAC three weeks ago after going into labour spontaneously at 38+3! I couldn’t believe it as I was convinced I would be late again and I really didn’t want another induction. So you really never know - birth is very unpredictable!
I was 4 days over first time and 3 days early this time. Went into spontaneous labour but needed the hormone drip to get more regular contractions as I was 24 hours + of my waters breaking and only contacting 1-2 in 10
I got induced at 41 weeks exactly. I really didn’t want to be and they kind of sprung it on me too. (Literally just called and said, we’ve booked you in to come and be induced 3 days before). I was getting fed up so I just went in. However i was still able to use the birthing centre as the foley balloon had worked and had my waters broken. I would have defo pushed back if they tried to induce me before 41 weeks. But it’s really up to you. I spent the 24 hours I had the balloon in, upright the whole time and walking up and down and bouncing on the ball and I really think that helped. Good luck xx
I was induced due to blood pressure issues at 41+2 and delivered at 41+3, I found they were happy to let me go 10 days over then they were likely to push, I would have refused though as long as me and baby were okay (in the end I accepted after being blue lighted to hospital, even though my blood pressure issues are actually white coat syndrome 😂)
I was induced at 41+2 I think it was and I had him at 42 weeks x
One of the nurse practitioners wanted me to be induced at 39 weeks and I refused. I gave my body all the time I was comfortable giving it with the risks and was induced at 41 weeks and had a successful VBAC, super short labor and only a few pushes!
