Anyone?

Question

Has anyone asked to be induced during 39 to 40 weeks without a medical reason? I have read being induced during this time is best for mom and baby! Did your ob/midwife say they will?

Answer

Both of my OBs did. My first ob did electively, so he’ll do it for any reason. My second ob did it because I was high risk for a hemorrhage and I wanted to be sure he’d be the one at the hospital, but he said that going past 39 weeks has no health benefits for mom or baby and that he’d gladly induce at 39 weeks anyway. 
There’s no harm is asking, but OBs have very different policies.

Answer

My OB is inducing me at 39 weeks because I want to, it definitely just depends on your dr

Answer

It's an option I declined. My Dr offers to second time moms bc it's easier to schedule around the first child

Answer

That's my plan. Lately I read so many bad stories how the mothers waited for the labor in the 41,42 week, but most of the times turned out with complications ( lack of amniotic fluid, placenta abruption etc). 
I see no benefits in waiting. The baby is fully developed by the 39/40 week, so taking him out although no signs of labor is the way to go. 
If I don't deliver before the end of 40 weeks, I'll ask for induction or C-section -whatever the best option is, on my due date/exactly 40 weeks.

Answer

I did with my daughter. I was scheduled to be induced at 39 weeks but she came on her own at 37 weeks. Praying her baby brother follows in her footsteps 😂

Answer

My OB said at 40 weeks we are gonna talk scheduling an induction. They don’t want me going past 41 weeks, he said it was because of my age, I’m over 35 with my first

Answer

Mine offered anytime after 39 weeks but I never said yes or no but if I get to 41 they automatically do it anyway (fingers crossed  she comes before then lol)

Answer

Yes I’m planning to get induced at exactly 40 weeks🤷🏾‍♀️
