So I'm 40 + 10 and have an induction booked for Sunday. I got upset at my midwife appt yesterday and she said I didnt have to have the induction if I didnt want to but said that the pessary only tips you into the labour you would have had anyway.
is this true? I think I might be more inclined to try it if that's the case. I thought chemical hormones brought on a harsher labour?
I had a sweep and am having acupuncture today so praying nature takes its course but want to ensure I make the right decision on sunday in case it comes to that.
At the moment I'm swaying towards asking to push back the induction for a few days...
Thanks for any advice!
