If induction is mentioned at your Christmas appointment, you’re allowed to slow the conversation down.
You’re allowed to understand the why behind the recommendation and what your real choices are.
Here’s a calm, clear way to advocate for yourself:
Can you help me understand:
• why induction is being recommended for me personally?
• what all of my alternatives are?
• what the risks and benefits are if we continue to wait?”
And remember:
You do not need to decide at that appointment.
You have the right to take time to think.
These aren’t difficult questions. They’re reasonable and thoughtful. You deserve to understand things fully.
You are in control, and you can accept, decline, or explore other options.
