induce or go back

Hi mummies, Im at 38weeks 5days. Went fr appt doct check i am already 4cm dilate. No contraction still. Transferred to normal ward from labour. Doct might option to induce if it doesnt dilate any bigger and no contraction still but i requested to go back instead. Should i stay and let them induce or go back and let the pain come naturally??

At 4cm, I went home first. Haha.. the contractions came on about 7-8 hours after I went home. But both options are not wrong. You need to make sure you don’t get stuck in traffic when you really need to come back though

The bleeding is actually the show, which is part of the process of going into labour. The thing I didn’t like about going to the labour ward too early was that I’d be strapped to the bed for so long. Haha. That’s why I thought.. just go home first. The benefit for you is that it’s now morning, so you’re hopefully less tired to push later when you reach 10cm (assuming you don’t take too long to get there), compared to if you go into labour in the middle of the night.
