What are some non-harmful/discomfort reasons that your doctor induced you?

Question

Doing a research paper for an English class of mine that we were to base off a documentary, I chose The business of Being Born (great doc if you haven’t seen it, and i need examples of some reasons your doctor induced you that weren’t a medical threat such as discomfort, lack of sleep, convenience, etc . Thank you guys in advance!

Answer

I had ONE urine test with a sliiight amount of protein in the urine which may be an indicator of preeclampsia. BUT I read it doesn’t mean it is preeclampsia. I think he was just fucking lazy and wanted me to deliver on his time ! 
So he scheduled me at 1 day after my due date. And he seemed very bothered when I revealed I didn’t get the epidural as well. Made a snarky remark saying I don’t get a reward for going through pain. Asshole. 
The business of being born is a very very accurate documentary. Made me so angry.  It was all about the money for him.

Answer

My friend was induced at 37 weeks because she was getting frequent migraines from pregnancy and was uncomfortable. I have another friend that was induced with both her kids because she hit 40 weeks and didn't want to go over. I was induced for GD and 'suspected large baby'.

Answer

I was overdue. I now realize that it was not necessary. I was only 40+5 when I went in for induction. With my second, I found a doctor who wouldn’t induce until I reached 42 weeks. I much preferred that. Typically, baby comes when ready.

Answer

My husband was deploying and we were worried he’d miss the birth. Doctor agreed to induce at 39 but ended up going into labor at 38.

Answer

I ended up getting preeclampsia but before that, with my 4th baby, I was considering optional induction. I had 3 other little kids, 1 at home and 2 at 2 different schools, my parents live 35 minutes away and my hospital was 40 mins away, and my husband 30 mins away. The thought of going into labor and having to get my husband here, parents here, get them my van so they can pick up my kids, and get to the hospital with what could have been a very quick labor was very stressful to me. My dr gave me the option to induce after 39 weeks. But I ended up with preeclampsia before then anyway.

Answer

My doctor “augmented” my labor at 39 weeks. Meaning I didn’t need pitocin just one dose of cytotec to make labor progress. I had been stuck at 3cm for over a week, not sleeping, and had high blood pressure (no signs of preeclampsia though).
