38 weeks labor?!

Question

My doctor told me I am 2cm and my cervix is very thin and I believe that my baby already dropped just because it kinda looks like it did. I really hope this week is the week for me! I'm 37 weeks but on Thursday I will be 38 and I really want to ask my doctor is maybe I can have the baby this weekend. With my last pregnancy I had my daughter at 38 weeks by Inducing.. This time I'm in extremely bad pain, my hips hurt more than anything. I have a two year old daughter who I can't keep up with because I can barely walk. Any chance he will allow me to have the baby this weekend?

Answer

Most places won't even consider inducing until 39 weeks unless there are complications.

Answer

My doctor said its the hospital policy not to induce till 39 weeks unless a medical reason.  I guess in 2014 they changed the rules to full term being 39 weeks and not 37 like it used to be.  I had my son at 38 weeks but he came on his own but that was 9 years ago- I don't remember anything and have no clue when this little lady is going to show up

Answer

Exactly where I'm at. I was checked at 37 wks, 2cm 60%effaced but baby is still high. I'm 38 wks now

Answer

My doc said recently they changed their elective inductions to no earlier than 39weeks unless there is a solid medical reason to induce sooner. Maybe your doc will be different?

Answer

Im 34+6 will be 35wks 2morrow & got checked wen i was 34+3 dr told me i was 2cm dialated & my cervix was very soft but doest seem to worried ill deliver early actually asked if i didnt go in labor on my own by 39wks would i like to be induced...so who's to say u might carry till EDD

Answer

So lucky! They wouldn't consider me till 39 weeks (I only wanted 4 days earlier so My husband could be there)

Answer

They won't induce me till 41 weeks, I asked for at least 40 & nope. It won't hurt to ask :)
