Ay, asking din ako nito dati before my second! From what a few of us tried sa public hospitals, kailangan talaga ng valid medical reason para mag-induce, hindi lang "gusto" mo, may dapat na risk sa baby o sa mama, or overdue ka na significantly. Best approach talaga is mag-consult with your OB there sa public hospital early, ipakita mo ang reasons mo why you want induction, at sila na ang makikita if qualified ka, mas strict ang public hospitals pero possible pa rin if medically indicated. Good luck mama, hoping your delivery goes smoothly!
