It most likely depends on when the hospital will have a room available. I was induced with my first for small growth as well. I went to my 39 week doctor appt around 12 in the afternoon and was told they'd like to induce later that evening. I had to call L&D at 10pm to see if the had a room available, if they didn't I'd have to call again the next day. Luckily they had a room but was told to come in at midnight. By the time I got to the hospital, got into a room and the induction started... It was 2am. So I guess it can vary. Good luck to you!

I had to be induced for the same reason with my first. She was 9%. I was induced 39 weeks exact. Went in the morning & had her just past midnight. Yes bring your bags to the hospital.

How long were you in labor with the induction? I'm scared I'll be in labor for days

We're at 7% and I'm being induced. They waited until 39 weeks which is Friday. When we were iugr at 5% he was going to be induced at 37.

Just ask them when they are scheduling your induction if they are starting it the same day as your appointment just bring your bags. They scheduled mine today but it's for when I hit 39 weeks and it only took them a couple minutes

I would or at least more info from the staff on what the heck is going on but hopefully after monitoring they'll be able to give you a straight answer
