What would you prefer?

Question

I’m currently 37 weeks and 5 days baby is in my ribs and I’m exhausted. Heartburn to the 9’s.

Answer

Although an induction would be nice because I’m so ready to meet this little man, I think I’d rather wait for labor to start on its own if it’s not medically necessary. I was induced with my first.

Answer

Spontaneous labor is so much easier.

Answer

You only get induced for medical reasons, not being uncomfy

Answer

Google the ARRIVE study to help you decide.

Answer

I’m being induced at 39 weeks(next week)  not for medical reasons but I asked my OBGYN and she induced me last time
I’d rather know when my baby is coming lol but that’s just my preference lol and it doesn’t hurt all they do is break your water; give you some medicine to start contractions and your baby comes 
This is my 4th baby so I’d rather know when she’s coming then a surprise knowing I have to plan around schedules and people watching my kids and this Las Vegas heat is crazy! Just over being pregnant my body hurts etc. so I’m choosing induction unless she comes before 39 weeks lol
I just want to get the hospital stay over ; just want to come home and be safe ;;

Answer

I was offered an induction next week and declined. He will come when hes ready.

Answer

I had spontaneous labour with my son and artificial rupture of membranes with my daughter (I didn't have any meds so not a full induction). I found the induction way more stressful and exhausting even though from waters being broken to birth was only about 6 hours and the first couple hours I wasn't getting much more than period-like cramping. While the induced birth was easier for my physically, it mentally was much harder. I also had a terrible labour with my son so that's saying a lot. I was induced due to being 41 weeks and being in latent stage labour for at least a week (but possibly a month as I never got checked for it earlier). I would never opt to be induced before my due date unless 100% medically necessary.

Answer

With my first I needed an induction for medical reasons and I was happy because I was uncomfortable and knew when baby was going to come. But after experiencing one I wish I could have waited until baby come naturally.

Answer

I would 1000% prefer the induction. Hubby and I are planners and this whole “waiting on baby to come” is very stressful. 
I’ll be 40 weeks on Monday and if I haven’t given birth my doctor is scheduling my induction.
