inductions

Just curious..why is there so many women having inductions instead of waiting it out until their due date letting nature take its course..excluding the medical reasons high bp etc. My OB said if nothing happens a week after due date then I'll be induced.

Re: inductions

  • My doctor wants to induce at 39 weeks because if gestational diabetes. Right now everything looks good. Hoping I go on my own.
  • My induction is scheduled the day after my due date. I have gestational diabetes and I don't need want to push the limits of a big baby.

  • I have higher blood pressure and baby is not growing ideally- so I am being induced at 38w5d, next Monday. If I didn't have either issue, doc would let me go naturally until 10 days after due date.

  • Because 39 weeks is the earliest that most OBs will offer it? They used to offer as early as 37 weeks but then found that was causing problems if due dates were slightly miscalculated.

    My OB brought up induction at my 39 week appointment, bu

  • Lots of practices offer elective inductions at 39 weeks now, my practice does as well. I'm having to have a c-section, but they did offer me an elective induction at 39 weeks a long time ago.

    My OB is on vacation starting Friday and my MFM (due to twins)  won't let me go past 38 weeks, so tomorrow it is.  I had hoped to let them come naturally because I had such a positive experience with DD but the docs decided otherwise.

  • I am being induced at 38 1/2 weeks bc LO is borderline IUGR and my doc wants to be safer than sorry. I'm dilated to a 3 at 37 weeks so he is confident that everything will go smoothly. He is also hoping I go before then though and gave me the thumbs up to
  • I really want things to happen naturally (and still could), but if I haven't had the baby by my appt. Mon., my doc said she could induce at 39 weeks (Wed.).  At 36 weeks and 5 days my baby was already measuring 8 lbs. and 5 oz., and found out my doc

  • I was with DD for no medical reasons. It was a week early. My doc said I was a good candidate with a favorable cervix for it so she said it'd be fine. I had a student with swine flu at the time so I wasn't allowed back at work and I was just sitting ar
