Induction at southmead ??

Hi mumma’s. I’m 37 weeks and I’m due to be induced at southmead at 38-39 for a few medical reasons. I’m just wondering how soon before the induction you’re told about your date for it? I have childcare for my toddler to arrange and need to let work know so ideally would like a weeks notice. Who would I call to find out ?? Thanks

You should find out a week before

A week x

They will text you with a date and time x

@Jo @Caitlin thankyou, is it a certain day they send out the dates? Or will it just be a random day a week before I’m scheduled do you know xx

With my first I was induced and it was just a random day, with my second I had an elective C-section she said they sort out dates on a Tuesday/Wednesday so I can't remember if that's the same for inductions too as mine was 2 years ago now xx

@Caitlin ah great okay Thankyou, I’ll wait and see if I’ve heard by the end of the week xx

I was notified a week before, by text. Initially I was going to be induced at 39 weeks, but changed my mind. I received the text at 38 weeks exactly. I was induced at 41 weeks in the end, and had that text at 40 weeks

From memory, they sort out the dates on a Thursday and text you on the Friday a week before x
