I am due in 2 days and also have an OB appointment that day. If I don't go before then, will she schedule a day to induce me or how does this work now?

Question

Please tell me your experience...I am a first time mom and have no idea what to expect.

Answer

It really depends on the doctor honestly. They may set up an induction date, they may not!

Answer

It seems a lot of doctors don't like you go past 41 weeks, so she could very well schedule an induction for you for the following week

Answer

I think it depends on your provider. With my first 2 they scheduled me to be induced, but I went into labor before induction date. That was with an OB. This time I am with a midwife and they said they will let me go until 42 wks.

Answer

I'm 39 weeks today and I won't have another appointment until 1/5 which will make me 39 weeks and 4 days and I still haven't been checked to see if I'm dialed at all

Answer

I think they ask you what you want to do.. I'm not certain though.

Answer

With my first I was in the same situation. He told me if I went to 41 weeks we would talk about inducing. My daughter ended up coming at 40 weeks 5 days. But yes I agree every doctor and every pregnancy is different.

Answer

Depends on the doctor. Mine only let me go about a week past with my first.  Multiple women I know who have kaiser insurance have gone up to two weeks before they will schedule an induction.

Answer

Mine said if I made it to 41wks we'd go ahead and do a c-section.

Answer

They may schedule a date as backup plan, but it totally depends on your doctor! 
For example, mine won't let me go past 41!

Answer

Maybe!!! dr normally wait until a week past due to induce if u don't have any medical problems!
