getting induced early for a nonmedical reason?

Question

Has anyone been induced for a nonmedical reason? 
My due date is September 14th, I am 35w & 3d, and today at my appointment, my doctor set my induction for August 31st, which I will be 38 weeks. 
This is my first child, i’ve had a fairly normal/healthy pregnancy.

Answer

Deny it, that is absolutely unnecessary.

Answer

I was induced at 37 weeks due to preeclampsia. Your risks with an induction increase. If it isn't for a medical reason, I would deny it.

Answer

Most hospitals wont allow an induction before 39 weeks unless absolutely medically necessary. I wouldn't opt to be induced that early your body may not respond well because its not ready

Answer

I was induced 2 times just for drs convenience. I didnt know any better. But the labor was alot worse then just waiting for my body to do what its meant to do. Dont do it!

Answer

I was induced with my first for medical reasons (preeclampsia).  I would do ANYTHING to avoid it again.  The risks of complications increase so much with induction.

Answer

I’ve had three inductions for low amniotic fluid and I didn’t have any complications and in fact they say an induction is less risky than going over your due date

Answer

I'm getting induced at 39 weeks on the dot, it's the earliest my doctor will do them

Answer

I’ll be 39 weeks for mine. Are you electing to be induced?
