Nope - not before this weekend, I promise!
They do induce at some hospitals, but not mine. There's a risk that the scar could rupture during labour, and the risk is increased significantly if induced. The thing is, they're not particularly thrilled about me having a home birth as it is, so while I'm happy for him to stick around in there for the time being, I do feel as though I'm kind of living on borrowed time. My consultant wants me to deliver in hospital if I get to 40+12 but couldn't tell me what the risks were with birthing at home after that time - as far as I'm aware, there's no difference in the numbers of ruptures that occur post dates. If I reach 40+14 then he wants me to have a repeat C-Section which I am absolutely desperate to avoid!
Clary sage fucking sticks. Our bedroom hums as I was sniffing it last night
