Hey hon
I just wanted to say don't let the induction thread put you off this site, there are some truly lovely people on here and once you get your BFP I'm sure you'll find your Due in ladies a real support network that you will depend upon and grow to view as close friends as I have. I didn't join this forum until I was pregnant but I will definitely join TTC when I do start again.
I found your posts interesting, and I can see why they might have scared someone going overdue out of their control, I don't see why you should feel awful for sharing. There are always positive and negative views, and I'd rather have ALL the info possible before making a decision.
Unfortunately there are always going to be people who disagree with us, I've been subject to raised eyebrows, as have many of us, but hey, we can't be loved by and loveeveryone can we?!
Stick with us hon, promise not all the threads get this heated!

plus, it's all well and good to have a birth plan - wish my baby had read mine before he was born, then he would have known i wanted a water birth with gas and air, not a forceps delivery with lots of drugs! The main thing is he was delivered, he was healthy and he's now giving daddy the run around while i get a few minutes peace and quiet. Chances are she won't get to decide, baby will decide for her!

Hang in there hun, and I hope you get your BFP soon. xxxx
I agree with the other ladies and wanted to send you some baby dust! Good luck TTC! I hope you get that BFP soon! xxx
And I also think that your experiences were actually very helpful at giving a HCP perspective of the situation - sometimes the "go with what you feel is best" answer isnt always medically the best thing and while it is said with the best intentions, can give women a false, and sometimes, dangerous, sense of security. Personally, I think good on you for pointing that out in a straightforward and informative way. A few more medically based facts to outweigh what are sometimes rose-tinted pure 'opinions' can only be a good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Like you, I worried about the worst case scenario, and as such, although I had preferences for my birth, basically all I wanted was to make sure I brought a healthy baby home - although telling my MW "as long as nobody dies I dont care how she's born" did shock her a bit ha ha! That said, it meant that what started as a natural water birth with gas and air, when it progressed to epidural and then emergency section for failure to progress after 16hrs active labour, I didnt feel 'cheated' that I'd missed out on anything - I got my healthy daughter, that was the main thing!!

Anyway, hope you get your bfp soon xx
