when would your doctor Induce you?

young-mommy2B

My Dr. told me she will only let me go 1 week over then she will induce me. (hopefully it does not come to that... ) 

When will yours? 

PoetSorrow

My doc said a week before my due date.

psvenson

1 week past my due date. And, I really hope it doesn't come to that. Time is going by SO slowly now!

FrickandFrack

Same here.  Mine only lets me go 1 week and I chose 2 days after my due date.

BlairWaldorf

They'll schedule an induction sometime after being overdue.   But I may not get into the hospital for another week.

janice74

mine said IF my cervix is favorable at 40 weeks she will offer the induction. ?Other than that, we will just monitor me and the baby and it is up to me. She is very patient.

Of course, I told her that my sister went to 43 weeks and her eyes got really wide:)

at 41 weeks

I was scheduled for 9 days after my due date with DD. (the induction took 2 days, though) I'm HOPING not to be induced this time, but I'd imagine it'd be around the same again.

Augbaby2009

1 week past my due date. If I don't have the baby this weekend she will set my induction date on Monday.

i had asked about induction, just in case, and I was told that at 39 weeks, IF and only if there are signs of progression, like dialation and efacing would they even consider it, but no later than 41 weeks.

Hopefully it won't come to that is right!

ilenegrace

Unfortunately I have GD so I will prob be induced at 38 or 39 weeks.

ToledoDeux

42 weeks.  I wouldn't agree to do it before that unless it was a medical necessity.

howa0155

Mine will at 41 weeks.  I will be induced next Monday night or Tuesday morning if LO doesn't show up on his own.

heatherlane

Not sure, but they are in no hurry. My SIL used the same, and they wouldn't have induced her until 41 weeks at least.

FLVintageBride

My doctor said they will give me the option to induce at week after my due date but that they would support me if I want to wait until 2 weeks after.

Taunya98

41 weeks because I have GD.  That would be this Thursday, but I have a NST and doc appt today.  Labor dust please!  I would love it if there has been enough progress to just go for it today...

water-fairy

My doctor doesn't let anyone go over 41 weeks. That being said, my induction is set for Wed, I'll be 40w5d... and he'll most probably be out at 40w6d.

sauma790

One week after my due date. Dear Lord I hope I dont make it that long.

FlaCourtney

That's what my dr told me. They actually would up scheduling it for about five days after my due date.

smilelari

We aren't even talking about it until 10 days post due

Samantha82

For me it really depends.  I have high BP and a very narrow pelvis.  So it depends on how high my BP gets, and if that stays o.k. then how big baby gets in order to avoid a c-section.

I think normally a week overdue though for my practice.

lovesazzie

My MW and I will start talking natural methods around my due date. I will be transferred to an OB at 42 weeks to be induced if I make it that long!

Ditto this. As long as me and baby are healthy then I will wait it out. 

Jessica Kovacs

They gave me 2 due dates so they said if I go past the 2nd due date we will talk about inducing. (FYI- there is almost 10 days between the due dates)

Stellar1

My doc induced me at 41 weeks- 10 days overdue. He wouldn't have done it before then.

rrotem

My dr will let me go to 42 weeks.

jessloveschase08

5 days after my due date

BeeLove

14 days over.

My doc said a week before my due date.

Why?

lujain

40 weeks, but I have GD.

alikat07

I already have an appt for 10 days past my due date - and that is when the midwife will start talking about induction.

jennylove1084

When I'm 4 days late.

JCM083009

Isn't the average first pregnancy 41 w and 1 d or something like that? Inducing just for the hell of it at 41 weeks seems odd to me, but oh well.

My midwives won't talk about induction until 42 weeks and even then will let me try some more natural things (acupuncture) if there is no medical reason to worry.

dreamast.romain

If I haven't delivered by my due date, they'll schedule it sometime during week 41.

I've been having heart issues and other issues so I guess thats why. Just taking it a day at a time right now. I'm not sure if the week before applies to perfect pregnancies. 

robynlesley

THURSDAY NIGHT!

That's 1 week after my due date.  And unless this baby comes in the next couple of days, it will come to that. Boo Hiss.

Just like you.

easyBreezie

My Dr. would have induced at 38 weeks but mine would've been medically necessary.
