Requesting to be induced ?

Question

Has anyone ever requested to be induced and had their doctor say yes ? I have the worst fear of not being able to make it to the hospital because I’m an hour away. I’m thinking of asking my doctor if he’ll induce me around 38 weeks if my water doesn’t break on it’s own. I was induced for my first , but because he was extremely late. So I’m not sure if they will do it Early. Or maybe I’m just being crazy and I’ll be fine on the hour car ride. 
Anyone want to share their experiences of driving to the hospital after their water breaks ? 
Maybe I’m just over thinking it and being induced would be silly. I have no clue. Lol. I’m just nervous !!!!

Answer

All 3 of my kids were elective induction. As long as I was past 39 weeks they were ok with it.

Answer

Most drs won’t induce before 39 weeks unless medically necessary. But if I don’t go by 39 (I’m at risk for preterm) then I’m being induced at 39.

Answer

Umm...I would highly question any doctor who would induce 2 weeks early for a healthy pregnancy. There are doctors who will schedule an induction right for 40 weeks, but that's just ridiculous to ask to be induced at 38 weeks.

Answer

I don’t think you’ll have a problem getting your doctor to induce you early. Unless there is an issue, I doubt they will before 39 weeks though

Answer

Of course you can ask, worse they can say is no... But most wont induce before 39 weeks so it’s possible they will just a week after you are requesting.. I asked and was told yes at 39 weeks
