Induction pros and cons

Bre

I don’t want to start a debate but I’d really love to hear both sides to induction. If you’ve had one, I’d love to hear why and your experience. If you denied one can you tell me why? I am due on Friday 05/24 and while I’ve been 3cm for going on 4 weeks now and had 2 sweeps it doesn’t appear labor will be insight for me

yet. My doctor offered to schedule an induction on 5/28 instead of an appointment next week so I did it just in case I want to move forward but really want to make the right decision before I actually go through with it. I know due dates are just a guesstimate and not always accurate. My first (now 5) came 5 days late after my water broke but I was not dilated passed 1cm before going into labor and ended up needing pitocin once I was in active labor anyways but when I delivered my placenta the doctor told me it had started calcifying which seems concerning to me so I worry that may happen again. I’d really appreciate honest stories and opinions but please no judgment on anyone 💕
