Well alot of people were shocked when i told them johnson was 19days late, most thought the doctors wouldnt LET you go over 2weeks... its your choice and u can choose to be monitored if u dont want to be induced.

I loved being pregnant, i was healthy and everything was perfect with my baby so i decided i would wait and see if he would come out by himself so i refused 2 inductions when i was overdue.

The MW's and a consultant made me feel very bad about doing this even tho it was my choice and there was no reason to do so - and in the end after pressure from every one i gave in and had one.

Next time i will stand my ground tho - remember its ur body and u dont have to do ANYTHING x

Fair play to you!
I have to say though, i probebly wouldnt have minded being overdue with jacob as i felt fine, and wasnt massive or anything, but when i had josh i would have been beside myself if i had gone over as i felt so bloody ill all the way through. Not that i would have been offered induction though, because they wont induce you after a c-sect, so i would have automaticly had a c-sect on day 12 of being over.
