Anyone else choose to be induced at 39 weeks? This mama is. 😪

Question

Answer

Please god let my baby come naturally. They want to induce me at 39 weeks. 😭😭😭 I am not into needles and refuse epidurals. The ice chip eating and pitocin is something in not looking forward to.

Answer

No judgement at all, just sharing my experience: after 35 weeks I literally couldn't wait for the pregnancy to be over. At 39 weeks I started trying every safe naturally inducing method out there, nothing worked. Baby came on its own at 40+5 and let me tell you, it was (for me) SO rewarding to know that he came when he was ready, I can only recommend it!

Answer

I did, scheduled my induction for this Thursday 1/31 at 39 +1

Answer

I'll be induced at 39 weeks as well. The OB told me it was my choice also.

Answer

I’m hoping I can 🤞🏻🤞🏻my doctor said well see how progressing in the last weeks. If I’m not dialing and making progress she wants to wait it out 😭😭😭

Answer

I just had my baby a week ago today and I was induced at 39 weeks and had baby girl at 39 and 1. They have a lot of different things to induce you. They will start with just a pill to dilate your cervics. And if your having contractions to the point you can’t take they will break water and that also helps speed up the process I got my water broken cause I wasn’t dilating I was just having very bad contractions. And as soon as I got my water broken 8 or less hours later I was having my baby.

Answer

Elective inductions start at 39 weeks with my OB so the only thing getting me through these last 5 weeks is knowing I WILL be in labor by then if not before!! I hope she comes at 37 weeks but it if she doesn't I will only have to wait 2 more weeks!! Hate playing the waiting game when I am in so much pain and discomfort! I got induced at 39+2 with my first, my water broke on its own after my cervix was softened, and he was 7lbs12oz, 21 1/2 inches long and my OB told me she was glad I was so insistent on being induced before my due date because he would have been well over 8 lbs (possibly 9) of I had waited to go naturally!

Answer

I wish ! I’m 39+2 but they won’t let me get induced until like 41weeks I better have this baby before then tho ! Lol

Answer

I sure hope so, I’m 34weeks5days and already 2cm dilated and 80% effaced!

Answer

Lol according to all my scans I will be 40 weeks, but they still keep telling me I will be 39 weeks based on lmp. Makes no difference to me, I'm just done being pregnant.
