I'm considering getting induced on my due date, August 27.

My OB is willing, as she says my cervix, pregnancy, and baby's position are all favorable.

I've had 1 membrane sweep that didn't work, my mucous plug came out, I'm 3 cm dilated and baby's head is in position since 37 weeks.

The reason I want to get induced is that I have an 8 year old child who i have no alternative care for other than a weekend (which just so happens to be my due date). Otherwise, if I go into labor on any other day- I'd have to bring her which ultimately, is stressful.

Also, my fiance's schedule is a bit unpredictable so unless it's a set date, there's no guarantee he'll be there. (The doctor assumes my labor will be fairly quick) .

Lastly, my daughter's first day of school will be starting the following week and it'd be difficult to adjust balancing bringing her to school along with a newborn a few days old.

So given those reasons, would you choose to induce on your due date?
