39 weeks measuring at 4.3 kilos. Doctor says I can induce if I want to. What should I do?

Question

I don’t have GB or anything. I’ve had a healthy pregnancy. Normal blood pressure etc... just some swelling in my feet, hands and face. My hips are curvy and I’m measuring at 1.5cm dialated.doctor says it’s totally up to us.

Answer

Honestly I'd wait. My opinion because I also got induced at 39 weeks and it failed. Got sent hom until the next week anyways. Was in labor for 12 hours before being sent home, then another 13 hours the second time before having a c section. And I know it lasts a lot longer for other people. Can be a day or longer before you actually give birth after being induced. I just had a bad experience but everyone is different.

Answer

I’d wait just cause I’ve heard too many horror stories about being induced and it not working, leading to long hospital stays.

Answer

Totally up to you but if baby wants to stay in their cocoon for longer I say let them!!! They know when to come out mama, God is teaching you patience. ❤️

Answer

Depends on how you feel. If my dr had offered to induce at 39 weeks I would have taken it in a heartbeat, but I was scheduled for induction at 41 weeks instead. I ended up being induced at 40+3 for high blood pressure. I was miserable during the end of my pregnancy, but I don’t have any regrets at going overdue, as my son was born extremely healthy and he’s very smart.

Answer

Your baby knows when to come out!  Don’t force them before they’re ready

Answer

Honestly do what YOU want.
