Inducing

APutter05 · January 2014

Has anyone asked their doctors about being induced? If so what week did you ask for and what did your doctor say?

BzeetyD · January 2014

RondackHiker · January 2014

I must be misunderstanding. Induction is a medical procedure for medical reasons, so I'm not understanding your question or the "what week did you ask for" part.

Why are you asking us/thinking about asking for induction? If an induction is needed it's scheduled based on medical need.

dunvilles · January 2014

I asked to be induced in 18 years.... figure I'll always know where he is and avoid the "terrible twos through the teenage drama".... Doctor said it was a novel idea and wondered why everyone didn't go this route...

Yea, this will not go over well OP. As PP said -- induction should be out of medical necessity, not because of convenience...

Good idea to quote this before it poofs.

Why are you wanting to be induced? Is there is a medical reason or "just because"?

djtippietoes · January 2014

Is there a reason for you to be induced? If so, I'm sure your doctors will let you know the date.

APutter05 · January 2014

We were discussing it at work and one lady said she asked to be induced and asked if I was going to. She said that her doctor let her pick any week after 37 weeks. I don't want to be induced. I want to know what it's like to go into labor.

I asked my doctor to not be induced ... I figure baby will come when he/she is ready. Ummm and ... welcome to F14?

Same here. My doctor doesn't want me to go past my due date, so I bring up how I don't want to be induced almost every appointment. He is insisting on this due to PCOS, not convenience.

magentawarped · January 2014

He said yes! But then, I went to Jared.

Curious what's the reasoning/thinking behind this? Not being snarky.

Well, her doctor and she are both idiots. Tell her to check out the March of Dimes site to find out why 39 weeks matters.

Most hospitals now have bans on csections or inductions prior to 39 weeks unless there is a major medical problem.

The lady at your work is an idiot.

If you want to know what it's like to go into labor then do that. I can see you're new here but FYI this kind of post will get you immediately flamed.

There's a few problems with PCOS, insulin resistance being a biggie for birth. Even if you aren't GD, you can get blood sugar spikes that affect the baby.

He said it was due to possible placenta issues since it generally starts breaking down the later you are past your due date. I took progesterone 1st tri to help build my placenta due to low levels.

Seriously?!?! It was a discussion we had at work and I thought asking on here I would find out that most doctors don't have you "pick your due date." Didn't know I would get some smart remarks. I thought this was a site to talk about pregnancy not have comments like this. Guess I was wrong!! This comment could have been left unsaid.

Hmmm. Is that a PCOS symptom with pregnancy? I didn't know that. I mean, I've heard of placental issues in later pregnancy but not specifically because of PCOS or progesterone supplementation. Interesting.

BzeetyD I did do a little reading after he told me this. I found this article, but I don't know how credible it is. https://www.examiner.com/article/women-with-pcos-more-likely-to-have-abnormal-placentas-while-pregnant

Since you have clearly made yourself such a part of this community, why don't you tell us more about what this site is for?

You asked a question frequently asked by idiots who want to induce to avoid the last few weeks of pregnancy and who don't care about risking baby. You did not make it clear that you weren't asking for yourself. You got pushback. Deal.

APutter05 · January 2014

I am NOT asking to be induced!! Once again it was just a discussion we had at work. If I go over my DD I go over. My LO will come when they are ready.

Uh, welcome to the board! Clearly you're not from around here. Lurk for a while and you'll figure out pretty quick why you're getting comments like this.

This is not what you said in your original post.

People can't read your mind. They only respond to what you write.

Calm down.

Deep breath, OP. You can't get this butthurt over something you did not explain.

Calm your tits.... hahaha LOVE it.... I'm going to use that one with DH... DH: "What's for dinner?" Me: "Oh just calm your tits already!!!" DH: **Jaw drop...** Thanks @TyrranosaurusLex (ps... I may have had to scroll up to your SN a few times to make sure I spelled Tyrranosaurus right...)

Change your dr. I don't think he has yours and your babies best interest in mind.

You are wondering if an article from the examiner is credible?

littlepig2 · January 2014

I love when people post here for the first time ever and are all "I thought this was a place for support and love!!! waahhh"

umm try lurking or JOINING IN a conversation. if you did either of those, you'd realize this is an extremely supportive community but when you ask dumbass, vague questions and then get angry when people don't respond the way you want to, don't cry about it. no one knows you and quite frankly, I don't even see the relevance or importance of this post.

@bzeetyd I have PCOS and heard that, too! I researched it and found that women with PCOS have a higher chance of going into PTL and placental abruption. I've never heard of inducing early without proof of the abruption, though. interesting!

Well, it said the information was from a journal of Human Reproduction, but I didn't dig any deeper.

He's not inducing early, just doesn't want me going past my due date.

Well, I don't know her medical history, but her OB sucks if he/she is allowing this just because. Unless medically necessary, it's pretty irresponsible IMO.

gotcha. I probably read it wrong, sorry!

Well crap

haha I blame it on brain cells lost due to silly questions today.

MamaHollywood27 · January 2014

Little late to the party, but let the baby cook as long as possible! I know all to well the medical reasons and such, but doctors these days are to damn laid back about induction for no true reason....
