2nd Trimester
Inducing for Convience
I am due on June 22. We are to be moved into our new house 5 hrs away on July 1st. How awful would it be to get induced a few days early. My son graduates high school on June 16th so I was thinking June 17th.

Induction raises your risk of c-section by about 40%.
So I guess it depends if you care about that.
Oh, and no ethical doctor will induce you before 39 weeks. Most insurance companies won't pay for an elective induction before then.

Oh please. It's very rare that I say something rude on here, but this seems like MUD to me.. Either that or you're stupid.

Honestly? I think it's pretty selfish of you. If you weren't willing to make changes in your life and be ready for a LO to more or less take over you weren't yet ready to be a parent.

Wow. Slow down there sparky. People were asking if you were serious because there are a lot of posts just to stir up drama.
If you are serious then I judge you really really hard for this. Your baby may not be ready or you could have a failed induction that results in a C section. I don't think you are thinking this through. I would also side eye the doctor that allowed this.
You could risk a NICU stay for your baby and health problems for your convenience. I think that is why people are asking you if you are serious. Every day that baby stays in the womb is a day for the lungs to mature and them be better able to cope with the rigors of the outside world.
You are absolutely 100 percent wrong about the intent of the boards. They are not here to be your personal google or so that people can ask questions. They are here to generate clicks, and revenue for the bump. Yes, you can ask questions, but be prepared for ALL the answers you will get.
You asked how horrible it would be. I think it would be pretty horrible, truthfully. Its a selfish desire. Your baby should not be induced for your convenience. They should start their way into this world when they are ready. You need to learn here and now that this whole baby thing is not an accessory to your life.
So yeah...I think you would be putting your own interests before your baby's in a selfish, immature and irresponsible way. Good luck with that.

Why? You obviously can't have a conversation. You only seem to be able to lecture on what you think the rules around here should be.
I vote you go start your own online pregnancy forum and stay the h*ll away from here.
Oh please, for *** sake don't ask for our opinions and then get all butthurt when we actually give them to you.
There is a big big big difference between having your water broken for you during labor (when contractions start on their own or you are induced for medical reasons). Not only does your posting make you seem like a selfish person but an ignorant one as well.
What the eff is the point of asking a board full of pregnant women their opinions if you are just going to biitch and moan when we give them?
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
Doctors who induce for "discomfort" aren't following the recommendations of the ACOG.
Breaking your water once in labor is an entirely different ball of wax. (and a debatable practice.)

Seriously.
Your baby is still growing in that last month and if they don't come out on their own a month before then they aren't ready. Inductions aren't always safe for mom or baby and increase your chances of having to get a c-section greatly. Moving with a newborn may not be the easiest but you can make it work and if they baby decides to arrive when y'all are ready to move then you can make it work then too. Ask family and friends for help. Or see if you can put it off for a week if possible. You should do some research of your own on the topic of induction and you'll see why we (myself and pps) are freaked by your post.
Dude... Did you honestly expect people to support this? You asked how terrible it would be. We all think it would be pretty terrible, and very very selfish.
Inductions increase the risk of complications, most people want the least complicated birth possible and only want medical intervention if it's medically necessary. Sounds like you need to do some more reading before you become a parent. IMO

Just because its just 5 days, doesn't mean the baby is automatically ready on their given due date! They don't have a timer in there, they come when they are good and ready!
Besides, you asked the question, you should be prepared for the responses.
My opinion? It's a terrible, incredibly stupid, inexplicably selfish idea. You shouldn't have planned to move so close to your EDD; you did this to yourself. Is your baby's health really that unimportant to you and your husband?
You asked the question.
If your doctor doesnt have a problem with it then you should be fine.....if june 22 will make you 40 weeks your very well past the baby due time. i had my son at 37 weeks and he was happy and healthy.
I had my son at 37.5 weeks and he spent a week in the NICU. My sister had my niece at 37 weeks and she spent a week in the NICU because her lungs weren't developed.
Your experience is not the be all, end all.
You KNEW what you were starting when you posed the questions, OP! You KNEW this would cause women to get upset...that's why you made the comment about being sick of the drama because of a question.
If there are any other women on these boards that feel the same way you do, then please, consult with each other on the ridiculous, selfish nature of your "birth plan".
Some of us would give anything just to have a full term birth with a healthy baby...and never in a million years consider it an inconvenience to our lifestyle changes.
Maybe with all the planning you've been doing, you should have planned your damn conception date to be a little earlier...you know, for the "Convenience."
Dude, BrianaSimons, you are seriously annoying. Not only do you give horrible advice, but your experience is not the average experience. Its irresponsible to encourage someone to do this. I am giving you the side eye right now in so many ways. Your baby shower "its your day-- go ahead and plan it" advice and now support of convenience inductions. Are you just a selfish twatwaffle on the regular?!
LFAF Summer 2016 Awards:
If your dr doesn't have a problem with it....you need to switch doctors.
Any dr that will induce for any reason other than medically necessary should lose their license to practice.
Sorry to add to the "hate", but that incredible selfish of you. I can only imagine what this kids life will be like if he/she is inconveniencing you from even before day 1.
BFP #1: 6.26.12 EDD: 2.11.13 missed m/c: 7.31.12 @ 12 weeks
BFP #2: 10.1.12 EDD: 6.11.13 Born 6.13.13
And I'd like to add: If this is a SERIOUS issue for you, you might as well just skip the induction and schedule a C-Section. Inductions don't always work, even when they are medically necessary and end up in C-sections.
So maybe you should think of how inconvenient a c-section would be for you to have to move while you are trying to recover. and it's possible that you wont even go into labor until after you moved.
Ugh. I'm so irritated by this.
I too think it would be awful and selfish to induce for no reason. But who knows there might be a medical reason for you or you might have already given birth naturally by then. So much is uncertain that I don't see the point in asking the question to a group of random people at this point in time, except to stir up drama. Discuss this with your doctor at a later date.
Oh, I've also heard how painful induction is (FTM here so I have no idea) so I would not choose that if I could avoid it.
You make me so happy sometimes
Yeah lady... unless your doctor is a quack, he won't induce you for your own convienence. I was induced at 39 weeks because of gestational diabetes.
I have a sneaking suspicious she planned to be induced before the move all along and she just wants us all to agree with her.

I think she's kidding because otherwise she'd have made sure CONVENIENCE was spelled correctly.
Agreed. I had a friend that chose an early induction because her OB was going on vacation and she didn't like the other OB's in the practice. So they induced her early for that reason alone. Luckily, her baby was fine and she didn't need a c-section, but I still thought it was a very selfish choice for her and a reckless decision by her dr.
OP- I understand that sometimes the timing of things can't be planned, but I think it's very important for you and your LO's health to let things proceed when they are ready and not try to order your life around convenience.
Me personally I wouldn't do it. You gotta do what you gotta do so just wait til the baby is ready and prepare yourself to move as best as you can. Good luck!!!
Ou, a white knight newb! I get to use my Abby gif again today!
...So says the most negative, hypocritical person commenting, thus far.
