Being Induced at 38w5d

Let me start by saying I live in NYC and I think the healthcare out here is HORRIBLE. Also I haven’t had an ultrasound since 20weeks so there’s really no way to tell if she “stopped growing”

Anywho went for an ultrasound yesterday at 38w2d and the tech said my baby is “small” she’s 5lbs 13oz. So he wants to induce me as soon as possible, so she doesn’t go into “distress” In the same breath he said it doesn’t make sense for them to see me every week if she small might as well just get her out. 🤔

My belly has not drop and cervix is closed. She’s not ready and I don’t see the point of rushing her out. I asked besides her weight Is everything okay he said yes she’s doing excellent. So again I don’t see the point 5lbs 13oz is within the average and she still has 2 more weeks to

Grow. Feel like there just trying to get rid of a patient. And with my belly not dropped and cervix still closed (she’s not ready) I think it’ll just make for a birth story nightmare.

Thoughts ?
