Hi All,
I'm currently 38+3 and booked in for an induction at 40+1. Had an 'issue' two months ago where scan showed edf not present and had weekly scans since, all scans perfect and consultant told me Friday that he felt that initial edf reading was false but was better to be on the safe side and keep scanning which I agreed. Anyway, we discussed labour arrangements and I personally want to wait however he wants to induce at term, not given me a real reason either just that because baby is on the 8th centile on grow chart he would like her to be born on term and me not go over.
Now with my first, I was 41 weeks and had a natural labour, which was very very quick, and this was 12 years ago. I have no idea what to expect, have tried to speak to my midwife but due to.having weekly scans at the hospital I haven't seen her much, and now when I need her - she's on holiday again.
Would you all kindly share with me your experiences of induced childbirth, what procedures, length of time, do they let you home in between or are you in hospital from the moment they start the induction procedure?
Thanks x
