Hey ladies,

So I'm 35 weeks on Wednesday and have a clinic appointment tomorrow! I'm so desperate for an induction date, I was just wondering when you all got yours?

My little mans measuring big so I don't think it's to long! Maybe at 37 weeks

Hi @Madelinelowery

I'd guess you may be given a date at your appointment. It depends how frequently you see your consultant. I saw mine every 4 weeks so got my induction date at around 34 weeks.

I was told they generally like to induce between 37 and 38 weeks, all being well.

Yes, it's a great relief to get an induction date! I'm sure you won't have to wait long now :)

I took a list of questions about induction but was also given an info leaflet. It wasn't the nicest of experiences but so worth it for the peace of mind. I didn't want to be worrying the last few weeks.

Good luck :)

Usually they aim for 37 weeks. Not longer than that.

Aww : ( That's disappointing.

I was happy to know some weeks in advance as I wanted to prepare myself. As it happened, I was induced earlier and suddenly anyway, so that plan didn't work!

Looking on the bright side, it shows they're not in a mad hurry to get baby out, which must mean you're both doing ok :)
