Scheduled Inductions?

  Well they can't force you into anything! But if it's for the health of the baby they probably will encourage you to do it as soon as possible. 

  In my experience they have been flexible, it will depend on the day you want being available of course. As far as time, they usually do it first thing in the morning, though I've heard of people going in at night. When I've scheduled mine, I've always been told to call an hour before my scheduled appointment time anyway to verify that I should still come in (that the maternity ward hadn't suddenly been slammed or something).

  I know of my past EDD induction (if needed) my obgyn schedules it on her first day in the range 1-2 weeks later that she is on call. She likes to be on call the entire day she inducts her patients.

  I had some say, but mostly the date did the talking. As in, the perinatologists recommended 39 weeks and that is this Sunday. My MW would have let met go Monday or Tuesday but Sundays traditionally have lower census so I'm scheduled to go in that day. Also, my primary MW on Sunday and my secondary is Monday so Sunday was the right choice for me (I would prefer to deliver with the MWs I know and am comfortable with). I was instructed to call in the morning and see what time they would like me to come in.

  With DS my induction was scheduled at 39weeks (for GD) and my dr said the standard for FTM's is an evening induction so they can start with a cervical ripener which takes 12hrs. This time around I opted not to do the cervadil and because of the holidays/weekend we agreed it would be best to induce at 38w6d and it will be in the am since I am just doing pitocin.

  My doc gave me two options for dates, the day I picked was full so he scheduled me for the only open time on the other day haha. Luckily baby came on her own though :

  My doc just scheduled my induction (I am past my due date) for her on-call day.  She seemed like she would have been sort of flexible about it, but we were easy going and wanted to schedule it as soon as we could.

  I'm scheduled for induction too this Thursday. We just told our doctor if the day we wanted is available.

  I am scheduled to go in Thursday evening because of chronic hypertension. The doctor  first off wanted me to go in early on Wednesday morning but with it being 12-12-12,  the hospital was completely booked. So he wanted me to go in on thursday night because on Friday he would be at the office near the the hospital.

   It seems like the Doctor tries to make sure it is a time when they are on call or close by, but there may be some flexibility with some doctors. Basically I went with what my doctor said and was okay with that.
