Hui Qun pretty much has said it all. Gynaes in Singapore will not get your induce unless when the risks of waiting for labor to start on its own are higher than the risks of the procedures used to get your labor going. For me personally, at about 38 weeks, I felt like a huge balloon and was feeling uncomfortable and achy all over my body. I had asked to get induce because I only just wanted my baby to get out but I was flat out rejected. I was told to eat more spicy food which I did since it was during Raya then and we had tons of Sambal Udang at home but it only gave me heartburns lol. Oh, and sex seems to be pretty effective for more couples too! However, at 39th week, my blood pressure had increases significantly and I was admitted right away to get induced. This was because they feared that I could have preeclampsia, and that I could black out anytime.
