are you due this week?
It is best to go naturally because
inductions have a higher c-section rate.
Good luck!

First time mothers very rarely go into
labor before their due date.
Be careful with your induction. I would
highly suggest NOT letting them break your
water until it's obvious that labor is
underway. If they break your water and you
fail to progress quickly enough, you'll
end up with a c-section.

Inductions really aren't fun, I wouldn't
want another one. Just try & be
patient, your baby will come when she's
ready.

Actually, no. Your doctor has no control
over your body or your mind. He can't
force you to be induced. What are they
going to do, strap you down and force the
IV in your vein?
You have a choice. You always have a
choice.

Laura is right, Kira. He doesn't tell you
how you will give birth, he offers his
suggestions and his input. Induction is
not necessary unless there is something
wrong with the mother or the baby. You can
go up to 2 weeks post dates (after due
date).
Everyone is always in such a rush to get
these babies out. They come out when they
are ready.
Good luck with your induction.

If you want to be induced, that's fine.
We're just trying to tell you that you
don't have to do something just because
your doctor says that's what's going to
happen. You've said here that "well its
nothing i can do if my dr says he's gonna
do it then he's gonna do it". You have
more power than that. If you want this to
happen, fine, but you don't have to do
this just because that's what your doctor
wants. He works for YOU, not the other way
around.

He mentioned it probably because every
pregnant woman who is seen in his practice
wants to have their baby right now. A lot
of doctors also do it out of convenience
to them. This way they have a time frame
on when they have to work (deliver your
baby) as opposed to having to get up at
3am on a Saturday morning to come into
work.
Have the induction, but know that it is
your choice.

Good Luck! I hope everything goes well!!
I know my doctor wouldn't let me go past
41wks, even though they said I could go 2
weeks either way of my EDD. I was induced
only because I had pre-eclampsia, but if
you and she are healthy, I wouldn't rush
it.

this was true--for me anyway... I was
induced and ended up having a c-section
because i wasnt dialating any and my BP
was up and down....Maybe you wont have to
be induced...She will come and it will be
all over before you know it..

There's no shame in admitting you want to
be induced. I was induced at 40 weeks 1
day with my daughter, and this baby is due
12/28. I want to have him/her before 2008
ends for tax purposes, so you better
believe I'll be asking about induction if
the little stranger doesn't come by my due
date.
If my due date wasn't so close to January
though, I'd probably opt not to have an
induction, just to see what my body does.

I was induced also, there was no medical
reason. The Dr gave me the option and I
took it. He said the baby hadn't grown
anymore and was ready. So I went for it.
To me it was the best thing ever. I was 2
cm when I went in. I got to the hospital
at 6am and at 2:17 that day I had my dd
natural. And now I'm glad I did get
induced because she had a bowel movement.
and I was induced a week before my due
date.

Not growing anymore would be a medical
reason for induction - especially if you
weren't even due yet. I'm glad your
induction worked for you.

I was meant to be induced because i was a
week and a half overdue and they didn't
want to placenta to start deteriating and
they were fully booked up after that so it
was kinda then or wait and perhaps have
complications, thankfully i was dilated
when i went in because i realy didn't want
to be induced. I already have a strict
birthplan for number two in my head which
definatlydoesn't include an induction
becuase when i went onto the postnatal
ward there were 4 women in there who'd
been induced and one of them was in labour
for 3 days in alot of pain and progressing
slowly and the other three had c sections
