My friend is getting induced at 37weeks 1day. I thought they would only do that if there was…

And by "do that" I mean induce right at full term.

they really shouldn't unless medically necessary.

Being pregnant with her has made us closer and she hasn't told me anything was wrong so I'm not really sure why she's being induced so early.

some women just don't know how to wait. why would you want your baby out early?

Seriously, they say her baby will be about 5 1/2 lbs when she delivers which isn't bad but if he could get bigger then why wouldn't she wait a few more weeks. @mrsvelasquez

I had by daughter at 37 wks but only cause my water broke. she was so small to me at 6.11oz

37 weeks is full term maybe there is something a little off that the doctor wants to get the baby out it happened to me with my son

well at 37 weeks the baby is fully developed and only packing on lbs. I would want to go until 39 weeks at least but its not like the baby is under developed when she's getting her induction so its not really a big deal
