Tomorrow there is a very real possibility they will assign me a date to be induced. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

EDIT: And if another medical professional asks me if I'm having a C-Section, I think I'm going to spazz.

Why the heck would they ask you that? I mean it's real common here for a doc not to let you go past your due date and schedule induction. But unless something has changed I think they are couched to ask if you'll be having a natural child birth rather than asking if you'll be having a c-section. So I'm mystified as to why they are asking you this.

That makes two of us.

I view C-section as "That thing that happens as a last resort when something has gone horribly wrong"

I understand why we're talking induction at this point though... I'm over 40 weeks and need to start working on the back-up plan.

Because they make more money with C-Sections.

In a public health care system?

Yep, they get to bill more for a C-Section and they can do more of them in the same time frame.

By they I mean the hospital. And yes.
