Induced ?

Question

Need some opinions on being induced my doctor has offered to induce me at 39 weeks . What do you lady’s think. I’m just so ready to meet my boy 😭

Answer

Inductions tend to lead to C sections, statistically, so it’s best for everyone to hold off on elective inductions.

Answer

I personally think if there’s no medical reason then you shouldn’t. Induction can be extremely long because baby isn’t ready yet

Answer

I am getting induced on the 10th, this will be my 4th time being induced. The contractions tend to be more painful and if this is your first it tends to make labor last a little longer but that's about it. I've never had any problems whatsoever with my inductions and at 39 weeks there is NOTHING wrong with choosing to be induced because your baby is considered full term by then.

Answer

It’s definitely a personal decision and I wouldn’t let people tell you that you shouldn’t or you should! Just got to weigh the pros and cons for yourself. I didn’t want an induction and tried everything to get him to come. I’m over 40 weeks now and he’s not budging but everything else is there, including the strong contractions, and after an ultrasound it looks like he was done growing a few weeks ago. So I decided to go through with it!

Answer

What was their reason?

Answer

If you’re ready go for it. I was induced with both daughters at 39 weeks. Gave me a chance to prepare and things went smoothly

Answer

In the childbirth class we took the instructor said this is actually becoming a common practice. She said that OB’s are going to be offering 39wk inductions more and more in the future. We are seeing a midwife and midwifes most likely will not pick up on this trend. I say it’s up to you, do what feels right for you and baby!

Answer

Read about the Bishop scale. My doctor offered the same thing to me and I’ve decided that if I have a high enough score then my body is ready anyway and I’m gonna get induced. If I have a low score at 39 weeks I’m going to wait until my body is more ready instead of medically pushing myself into labor early and risking a long, drawn out, and painful birth with a higher chance of c section.

Answer

I was offered an elective induction starting at 39 weeks, they didnt offer this my last 2 pregnancies (same practice and hospital). I'm opting for membrane sweeps and waiting my baby out. I'll get induced at 41 weeks if I make it that far. I know there are plenty of successful inductions, but I'd rather go naturally than add the added risks that come with inductions.

Answer

If there is a medical reason then sure! 
I got induced at 39 weeks. It was the longest shit ever honestly. Next time I'm just going to let my body go into labor naturally. My OB had me scheduled for a c section bc she believed my baby was gonna be a 8-9 1/2 lb.. then I fought for induction instead and my kid was born 7lbs 1oz. And she didn't even deliver him.🙄
 I love that he's here but definitely will not be induced again unless I have to be. Even if my next one were to measure big again.
