My wife was induced at 42 weeks with our first child, and it all git rather drawn out, and ended up in theatre. Our second was born recently by planned c section, as a result if a late diagnosis of diabetes. Although a bit scary, everything was very calm and smooth, and my wife said she'd take that option straight away if she had another one. Also, as well as getting your notes, after our first, my wife had an appointment with a consultant obstetrition (this was at Tommys), to discuss exactly what had gone on. She found this very helpful in getting her head around what had happened to her.
