How can i prevent from being induced?! (Ftm here)

Question

I'm 38w5d and and zero signs of labor except baby's head down since 30 weeks and BH. My back has been hurting but that was caused by cleaning😕. So I guess excerise isn't a option right now.

Answer

You've still got a week and a half before they even begin to worry about trying to induce you, and if you're against it, they'll hold off until 42 weeks if you tell them you don't want to.

Answer

The best way to prevent being induced is to work with a medical professional who isn't "trigger happy" and allows mothers to go to 41 or 42 weeks if all is well. If your doctor is already talking induction you still have informed consent and can discuss reasons why you want to wait until 41 weeks at least. The average gestation of a FTM is 41 weeks and 1 day. If you can convince the doctor to hold off inducing until after that then there's a good chance you'll go into labor on your own before the induction date. Going past your due date isn't a medically valid, evidence-based reason to induce. You still have the final say in your care. Unless there's health problems, fetal distress, pr placenta problems, there's no reason to not let you continue to stay pregnant. If you're asking for ways to induce labor on your own nothing is really going to work until the baby is ready.
