We were discussing Induction in Uni today, and wondered what the procedure is where you are? In short at 40-41 weeks we offer the client a stretch and sweep, but in the same clinic visit we ring and book them in for indiction (just incase they need it tho my mentors S&S's are legendary!). We tend to induce at term +10 or thereabouts, depending on available beds etc. If a client does not wish to be induced we require them to have daily CTGs, up until 42 weeks.

What happens where you are? and do you extend to 43 weeks? we only extend to 42 (as far as I know).
