my doctor confirmed yesterday that I will be for sure induced at 37 weeks and most likely c-section... That puts my induction date around November 19 instead of December 10. It was nice getting to know you ladies, good luck to all of you and I hope you all have sticky babies, fast and easy deliveries and good pregnancies! I'll be jumping to the November board now. I'll check in with you guys from time to time tho.

Why is everyone in such a hurry to get the baby out if there isn't a medical reason for early delivery? Let the baby cook in there as long as it is safe. I was induced at just over 41 weeks because I didn't want to go to 42 weeks, which is as long as my OB would let someone. I told her I'd go to 41 weeks, but not 42 weeks. I know that the last few weeks are tough, but that baby is still developing from 37-40 weeks.

I'm sure there are doctors who would do that but I would question what kind of doctor they are.

Here's how expectant mothers should now expect doctors to describe
the last possible weeks of pregnancy (counted from the first day of a
woman's last menstrual period, but sometimes adjusted after an
ultrasound):
• Early term: Between 37 weeks 0 days and 38 weeks, six days
• Full term: Between 39 weeks and 40 weeks, six days
• Late term: Between 41 weeks and 41 weeks, six days
• Post term: 42 weeks and beyond

There is only one person on here saying they want the baby to come early. So I'm not sure what you mean by "everyone" is in a hurry.
I still want to know why the OP's doc already knows they will be delivering early.
Maybe you meant something else but that's what you said. People are going to disagree on this board. That's what happens. I've been here a long time. You get used to it. But it is a medical fact as your article stated that optimal time is between 39 and 41 weeks for baby to be born.
I'm sorry if your feelings got hurt. I hope you have a wonderful afternoon.

My son came 6 weeks early last time. He was only 4 lbs and was in the NICU for 3 weeks! I would never want my lo or me to go through that again!!! So scary!
But tbh, I hate to say this but I admit there was a part of me that was glad I didn't have to be pregnant anymore. I know that's so awful to say or feel. But I do not enjoy pregnancy! Not one bit! But with that said I still really hope this time around I go full term.

I apologized at first but you basically told 3 different people that we didn't know how to read when we all quoted exactly what you said.
@LinMmmm was responding to you saying the same thing to her.
Now you're just being disrespectful for no reason.

Yep. In fact the first thing I said was that I was sure she had a good medical reason for her doctor making that decision.

With that said...I still want to know!

That was one of my "ha, what if I responded like this?" write ups that I thought I deleted before posting my one line about the cavalry. That was absolutely a "crazy train" rant that wasn't supposed to actually be seen by anyone.
I blame nothing except my own lack of double checking my text box!
But thanks for the reminder @kitten20133 I'll play nice now.

I am pretty sure that it's going to take a good deal of time before they are able to figure out when they want to take the baby. But perhaps the OP has had a history of C-sections or preterm labor?
I want to know too though :-) but I will certainly be able to live without the knowledge
The weight thing is iffy though because those predictions are never totally accurate. BUT.... There are doctors who will induce early because of fear of the baby being too big. They told me my first would be ten pounds but he was 7lbs 12 oz. wayyyyy off

Hopefully this labor will be much easier for you! And hopefully your doctors will be a little more aware of your situation.

What are we talking about?
@revlaurawittman thank you for initiating this conversation. I can't agree with you more.
@otowns your logic. Smh.
