Should I be induced on my due date?

Question

I'm scheduled for an induction tomorrow (10-12) on my due date. I can't decide if I'm going to go through with it. I really want to but I feel so much judgement with induction these days. I've made zero
Progress since 36 weeks. I'm 1cm and 50% effaced. Please help me decide! I'm miserable and tired of walked 100000 miles a day to have zero contractions.

Answer

F that... I'm being induced on my due date and happy to be! There is more and more research pointing to rapid deterioration of the placenta after the 40 week mark which puts you at higher risk for still birth..  People can judge all they want! If my doctor is comfortable doing it, then I feel like it's a healthier choice than some random chick on the internet who claims "natural is always best"... you know what else is also natural... smallpox, plague, polio. Thanks but I'll take my modern medicine

Answer

I'm in the same boat . But I opted out of being induced . My Dr said induction has a higher likely hood of ending in  c-section which I'm terrified of so we are just going to wait . I feel your pain I'm so ready to have this little boy . I hope he decides to come tonight or tomorrow on his own . 😫😥

Answer

Don’t worry about being judged. However, forcing the baby out can end up leading to one medical intervention after another. Just do your research so that you’re confident in your decision and nothing is going to surprise you. Either way, get excited because your gonna have a baby soon one way or the other lol.

Answer

Im so nervous about induction too! Due date is 10/12 tomorrow

Answer

Don’t worry about what anyone else thinks! I was induced at 41 weeks with my last baby and it all turned out fine. Healthy baby/mama is all that matters!

Answer

Don't worry about being judged! I have an "unfavorable cervix" and haven't had much progress down there. I'm 5 days overdue! 
I've tried pineapple, walking, sex, evening primrose oil, exercising... you name it I tried it. lol I'm getting induced tonight!

Answer

Do what you want, and what your dr suggests.
