I know that the received opinion on MN is to resist induction, especially for concerns about big babies, but I wonder whether anyone has gone ahead with such an induction.
I am 38 weeks and they think the baby is already 9lbs. They want to sweep me tomorrow and induce at 39 weeks. My first DC was 9lbs 4oz and my second was 10lbs 2oz and both were long labours with tearing. I am tempted to agree to the induction as if I go to 41 weeks (as I did with DC2) they think the baby could be near on 11lbs and I am terrified of tearing again.
If you agreed to early induction for a big baby I would love to hear how it went.
