Those of you who Havnt had your baby yet, do you plan on inducing upon your due date if baby doesn't come naturally?

Question

Due the 16th. I was induced with my firs child 2 days after due date. I plan on inducing this one too. I honestly feel like it's the better option for me. That way I'm in the hospital when they break my water, they can monitor contractions and baby and I'll get an epidural faster. I know some places don't take you if contractions aren't close enough and I do not want to wait hours feeling contractions before getting admitted to hospital.

Answer

Not me. I don't want any interventions, not even an iv catheter, unless the baby's at risk.

Answer

I don't actually have a choice. I'm being induced for medical reasons. If it were up to me I'd let baby make this call. He could stay in there the full 42 weeks as far as I'm concerned but in our case he's safer out than in pretty soon so I'll meet him about 10 days early.

Answer

There's no way I'd get induced without a medical reason before 42 weeks, and going a day or two past my due date isn't a good enough reason.
