Over due and getting a bit scared

[AlwaysPraying]

I'm four days over due and on the seventh day my doctor will induce me. I have an appointment tomorrow to talk about it all. I must admit, going over is a little nerve wracking for me. I really didn't think I'd go over, even my dr thought I'd have gone a week and a half ago now. I'm hearing so much on these bad induction stories, it's a little frightening. I know I can wait and let nature take it's course, but that scares me as well. I just want to know that bubs is safe and that he'll arrive safely very soon. Everyday I have good intentions, but everyday is another day pregnant. I try to have faith that he'll come when he's ready, but tomorrow will be day five and that seems like a lot to me. I know lots of women go a lot longer, but that's just where my head is at right now. Thanks for reading.

Induction arent that bad. You just here about the bad stories all the time and not the good. Natural is still better but if induction was such a risk they wouldnt do it.

Good luck- hopefully it all works out for you, sure you will be fine- I am in the same position- I've got til the 6th Sept and then I think they willwant to c-section as I have already had one and can't be induced hopefully it will happen naturally for us both xx

Good luck, I always say you never hear about a good labour story whether it's natural or induced.

You're lucky your Dr has arranged this for you, must be different policies in Canada, my Midwife hasn't even mentioned sweeps, and I asked her yesterday about an internal to see if i'm effaced or maybe even dialiting and she point blank refused.

Said they don't do internals unless you're in labour coz of infection risk sticking your fingers up there so I have to be patient!! And tbh theres not alot of that left in me!!

Aww you sound like you are blaming yourself! Dont, you cant do anything, babys arrive when they choose. Loads of people have to be induced so of course there will be bad stories out there. Think positive you will be back on here in a week with your bouncing baby telling us one of the good stories!
