how many of you are being induced?

mybabies03 · May 2010

I sort of have mixed feeling about this. With both of my girls I was induced due to big babies. I just think it would be fun to not know, and be able to call my husband and say IT'S TIME!!! I go in today for a growth sonogram and most likely be scheduled to be induced. Although I am glad that he/she won't be a 12 pound baby. Most likely this is my last pregnancy so I have all kinds of emotions!!!! Just wondering how everyone else feels about being induced.

I'll only get induced if I'm more than a week late.

I hope I don't have to be induced, but if that's the only way baby is going to come out, I'm ok with it.

BrittH05 · May 2010

I am scheduuled for an induction July 8th unless she comes before that. I will be 39 weeks.

LCB34 · May 2010

I am being induced at 38 weeks due to a blood disorder I have (and a few other reasons). My blood doesn't clot and I have to have a synthetic clotting agent administered via IV no less than 8 hours prior to delivery to prevent hemorrhaging.

Since we have no idea how long I will labor, my Peri is more comfortable inducing.

I'm going to be induced Friday if I don't have him before then...really hoping to do it without an induction (I have mixed emtions about it), but I'm also ready to have him here! The doc said they could see me on Friday or they could go ahead and schedule the induction for then. The thoughts of no baby on Friday & then having to wait for the beginning of next week for a baby were scary!

I'm really in pain due to sciatica, so the sooner the better!

I am being induced in a week (twins). I am measuring like 54 weeks pregnant right now. I hope I go before then. I wanna wake up hubby and yell at him MY WATER BROKE or something like that...really freak him out lol!

MrsBalletStar05 · May 2010

I have a date to be induced if he does not come before. I hope he does though. I was induced last time with DS#1 and it was completely fine. I had a good experience with it.

This. Well, as of right now at least...it's still early.

BurnNurse · May 2010

Unless something happens between now and then, I'll go in Sunday night to start my induction. Ive been measuring at 41 weeks since about 32 weeks, and have signs of pre-e.

kara975 · May 2010

I have an induction date set for the 31st (10 days past my EDD). I don't really care if I go before then or have to be induced, I'm just glad the finish line is in sight!

mama_duck · May 2010

I will be induced Thursday if I don't go into labor on my own before then. I am not excited about it, but I am excited about getting this baby out and being able to see the bones in my ankles again!

kdiguise · May 2010

We're going to set up an induction date today. My peri doesn't want me to go past 37/38 weeks, so we'll see what my regular OB says today. My placenta is aging too quickly (causing the baby some growth restriction) and my fluids are starting to get a bit low.

Noisemaker · May 2010

I'm being induced tomorrow with my second, and most likely last, baby. I have mixed feelings. I want to experience the moment of "omg, this is it, I'm going into labor" (was induced with #1, as well, so have never had that) and I want my body to do it naturally. But it's more important to me that the baby be delivered in the hospital, and come out safely, so I'm going along with the induction.

I will admit that I was much more upset at the idea of an induction with my first. I've come to terms with it this time. At the end of the day, a healthy baby and mommy is all I care about.

rosalyian · May 2010

being induced saturday night at 41 weeks, unless he joins us before which is what I am hoping for....

Laura0575 · May 2010

My doc will do it any time after 40 weeks. so, I'm going to talk to him today about scheduling one just to have it in place.

jess60 · May 2010

I'd rather not be induced but I will be because I was diagnosed with mild pre-e. The specific date/time is being scheduled at my appt this afternoon & I'm told it will be within the next week.

mertense · May 2010

I'm being induced on Thursday unless LO decides she is ready to meet the world before then. I would love to go into labor naturally but that doesn't seem to be in the game plan.

Ruthgers · May 2010

Hopefully not me, but if I get too close to 42 weeks then we'll have to set a date.

wifeandmama · May 2010

I was induced last time and I hated it. I'll avoid it at all costs this time, for sure.

SageGreen82 · May 2010

::raises hand::

I was diagnosed with pre-e at 29w, so I'll be induced at 37w if my condition stays stable. If my condition should worsen over the next 2 weeks, I will be induced earlier.

mysticporter · May 2010

I may be. I'm at high risk for an emergency c-section due to a low-lying placenta, and given that DD was on the large end and this LO has consistently measured ahead my OB doesn't want me to go much past full term since a larger baby increases the risk. Hopefully I'll go into labor spontaneously between 38-39 weeks, but if not, they'll induce.

Mainer-in-Texas · May 2010

I am scheduled to be induced on Saturday if she doesn't arrive before then. I am glad we have an end in sight, but I'm scared of the increased risk of c-section. I really hope I go into labor on my own this week!

mommyrenee · May 2010

i had a big baby and didnt need to be induced, so its not something that i would do just because. i loved being surprised.

i would only consider an induction if baby was in danger or I was at least a week overdue. i would never do it before 40 weeks just because.
