What’s your plan?

Question

Just wondering what other mama’s are doing. I have some people encouraging me to schedule to be induced.
With my first I waited it out and my water broke at 39+4.
Not sure what I want to do but I know I’m ready to have this baby! I’m over being pregnant at this point and I really don’t want to go all the way to 39 weeks again. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

My doctor doesn’t do inductions or c-sections unless they are medically necessary, and I don’t think my insurance would cover them if they did 🤷🏻‍♀️ it has to be medically necessary

Answer

OB wants to schedule induction at 40 wks because I have GD. I’m really hoping baby decides to come before that as I want to go naturally. Strangely enough part of me almost would prefer a scheduled C section rather than induction. I know it’s possible that induction could start and they may barely need to start it and then body just takes over.... or it could be a whole cascade of interventions. My ideal birth is delivering in my chosen position - NOT on my back with an epidural because I couldn’t handle intense contractions from Pitocin. Doing everything I can to hope baby decides to come by itself!!

Answer

I encouraged labour with my daughter n she came a week early coz i was so inpatient. I had a vaginal unmedicated birth. 
This time im 35 weeks n he is 6lbs already my daughter was 7lbs 2oz. Im scared if i let it go too long he will be big n i fear for my vagina coz i want a natural unmedicated birth. Once I get to 37 weeks I think im gonna start helping him out.

Answer

Only do it if necessary. I’m being induced  at 39 weeks because of size 😬😬  my first son came on his own, but this guy is a BIG BOY

Answer

Due to medical necessity (previous abdominal surgery), I’ll be a scheduled c-section.

Answer

My first was 1 week late & big. I went into labor a couple hours before my scheduled induction at 41 weeks but still needed the pitocin to keep my contractions consistent. I ended up with high blood pressure once I passed my due date (after great BP until 40 weeks).
This one is big as well and with the blood pressure going up last time they want me to deliver as close to 40 weeks as possible so they want to sweep at 38 weeks and we will probably discuss induction for late 39 weeks or early 40 weeks if I don't spontaneously go sooner.

Answer

My doctor will not schedule an induction until I am 40 weeks. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Answer

Schedule repeat c section , but I’d prefer spontaneous delivery
