Request to be induced?
I’m 38 weeks and for the past week have had mild period type pains , lower and upper back ache and generally struggle to move about .
I also have a 16 month old so have to be on my feet and my partner can not afford to miss any more time off work and does not qualify for paternity leave pay.
Overall I’m just fed up and always in pain and getting slight headaches can I request to be induced? I haven’t even had a letter for an induction date if I go over my due date like I did with my first.
I was meant to have a telephone consult the 2nd and they never contacted me and my midwife is pretty useless and can take days/weeks to get back to me.
I just wnat this baby out !😭

You can ask but my midwife said without a medical reason (ie growth concerns, broken waters etc) they won’t do anything before due date although I think will offer stretch and sweep at 39w?
Have you tried natural methods?
I’m 6 days into an induction for a medical reason at 40w, I’ve been waiting mid induction for a bed on the delivery unit since Thursday… I’m sorry to say induction doesn’t always get baby out quickly
Alot of midwifes won't induce for personal reasons like childcare etc only thing they might offer is a sweep
I was meant to have a consult phone call the 2nd they never contacted me I’ve just had a call of them saying due to me being sent in twice for high blood pressure from midwife appointments even though it was normal when in triage they want to induce me within the next 7/8 days x
