Stubborn Babies

This is my third child and will be my third time getting induced.. I was really hoping i wouldn't go over due this time around! This will be my last pregnancy.. I had contractions for a week, dilated to 4cm 80% effaced and had my membranes stripped. My dr sent me to L&D for monitoring and then everything stopped!! And now I wait... Scheduled to be induced on Sunday.. No myths have ever worked for me.. Anyone else have babies who just don't want to come out?!! #myuterusmakesagreathome #39wks #overit

  • I'll be 41 weeks tomorrow. We've been making jokes about being too stubborn and making a stubborn ass baby lol.

    I'm with you! I really want to avoid being induced, but don't know how hard I can push back on my doc. She feels pretty passionate about not letting me go past 41w. Thoughts?

    @rmludington - you are being induced today? Amazing! Congrats!!!!
  • You can push your doc as hard as you want! Studies show that the average pregnancy for a FTM is 41+1 and for a STM its 40+5. If everything is healthy there's no reason to induce before 41weeks. Chances are so high of needing a csection if you push it before baby and mama are ready.
    If you want baby out, that's a whole different story. Don't let the doctors pressure you with their timeline unless they have a good reason.
  • I have my induction booked for Saturday I'm excited and scared, think LO is playing games with me, she constantly makes me think today is the day and then nothing

    @sailaplay my doc will wait until 41, but not much longer

    @toddabunny my LO is constantly giving me false signs - sad!
