Going to be induced

I've been induced/ scheduled for 6th April if baby doesn't turn up sooner.

Honestly not that bad. The waiting is the worst thing. With the drip, the contractions started strong, but as soon as I had an epidural, it was no problem at all. Honestly don't worry. Xx

I’m scheduled for induction in 2 weeks (I’ll be 39 weeks) but personally I’m going to cancel as it doesn’t sit right with me. Whats the reason for the induction?

I am on the 10th of April if she don’t come before then

Remember you have a choice & you don’t have to be induced.
They should be presenting you with all the options for you to decide how you want to birth.
They can’t tell you to do anything xx

Yes, however at this moment I’m declining it and giving him chance to come on his own and then I’ll have a sweep instead as it’s less stressful for baby! What’s the reason for induction? Xx

my placenta is small so I’m not allowed to go over due date as they don’t know if my placenta can continue to support baby much longer

Yeah I’m not aloud to go over due date either. I’m due 3 weeks tomorrow. So I’m taking the sweep at 39 and then induction but hoping he comes on his own before so avoid any distress! They was trying to get me to book a c section for in like a week and a half but I had an emergency one with my daughter so I’m trying to avoid that unless it’s an emergency xx

yeah I’m the same as you, stretch and sweep next week then induced the week after. They haven’t mentioned c section as I think they’re hopeful my body will do its thing but I know that’s the emergency option isn’t it

Well fingers crossed the sweep works for you as it’s the least distressing for baby. Or you go in to natural labour before. Good luck xxx
