If your pregnancy has been straightforward, youâre likely to be offered induction at 41 weeks (NCCWCH 2008a) . The timing may vary according to your hospital's policy.

I was somewhat in your shoes, I was so fed up with my labor not beginning on its own that I began to want to just say forget the whole thing!, with an I give up attitude.
