I had my 37 week OB appt today and my doctor was stating that since my 2nd baby was precipitous labor and delivery, he would induce me at 39 weeks.

My 1st labor was typical of a 1st time mom and I was in labor for 24+ hours. With my 2nd baby I expected another long labor and waited too long to go to the hospital. We do live an hour away from the hospital and it could be longer with traffic. My contractions started at midnight, I left a 5 for the hospital and my water broke and he was crowning in the car. He was out in 2 pushes in triage and my doctor didn't make the delivery. My OB said he expects my 3rd labor to be even shorter and he doesn't want me delivering in the car or at home.

Do I opt for the induction or do I just head to the hospital at the first sign of "real" contractions??
