Induction after 39w. Opinions?

Gi

Would you get induced if your doctor offered it to you after 39w? I know it’s not natural. I’ve heard that it goes great for some women and is a terrible nightmare for others.

My doctor said that there is scientific evidence that shows that getting induced at 39 weeks is better than carrying the baby to 41 or 42 weeks. He says it actually lowers the rate for cesareans and lowers the chance of high blood pressure for mom and baby.

Just curious on other mommy’s thoughts. Would you do it if offered? Why or why not? Have you been induced before? If so, how did it go and was it medically necessary?
