Is this wrong?!

in February 2011 Moms

Induction wasn't even on my radar until my doctor planted the seed today.  And of course now I'm obsessing about it.  She says if I'm ready, at 39 weeks, she can schedule me for an induction (which by the way, will be MY THIRD).  Not that I don't believe I will go into labor on my own this time...my cervix is showing some signs of readiness and I've been having real contractions!  That never happened before! I mean, this may sound weird but all I wanted for my last pregnancy was to go into labor on my own, on time, with no Pitocin and Cervadil and not being able to walk around with contractions.  But now faced with the temptation of early induction, not to mention the fact that this would line up perfectly with my DD's school vacation and if we schedule it for that Friday...DH would have 10 days straight off (awesome!).  I am torn.  Is it crappy of me to want an induction just purely for convenience?  Please tell me this does not make me Worlds Worst Mother of the Year.

 P.S. I just realized that was not coherent at all and I apologize.

    I completely understand your dilema!  This would also be my 3rd induction and I think that being induced makes labor harder and longer, but if my doc called today with any reason what soever to be induced I would jump on it, which is crazy because all I have preached since I got pregnant was I did not want an induction!  But at this point I am ready!

    Right?  I was so anti induction and I didn't even think they offered them at 39 weeks for no reason.  My first 2 I went to 42 weeks and I am so scared of having to chase 2 small children 10 months pregnant.  But I also would rather have a healthy baby who is ready to come and how can you be so sure with an early induction you know?

    Sign me up!!!! At the MD today I told her, laughing of course, that if she broke that bag of water down there on accident I wouldn't mind.  If she gave me the option of induction I would be all over it.  Unfortunately there office will not induce until 41 weeks unless there is a problem....

    that was coherent. :-) I would be tempted to, but I doubt I would.

    I'm probably being induced at 39w6d if I don't go on my own sooner.  And for a reason a lot of people here would be horrified by-- bc my doctor is going on vacation, and I love her, and I would rather be induced than have whoever is on call.

    If it is wrong sign me up, I am asking about it this afternoon (have an appt scheduled for 3:30 for my 40 week checkup)  I am going to beg and plead and see if they will induce me tonight, or at the latest Monday.
