so I don't want to go past 40 weeks because with my first daughter I had complications delivering her once I went past. so my mom told me at my 39 weeks appointment to just ask if I can schedule a c section. can I even do that??
Cervidex. Now I've been using evening primrose oil at night. Google it. My doctor felt that it was safe. It's helped me thin
@earthmama, I ended up being 3 weeks over when they thought I was just 1. she had a bowel movement inside me and it got into her lungs and she came out no heartbeat or anything. it was terrifying. my dr told me at the beginning of my pregnancy that he wouldn't let me go over but now says 41 weeks would be the max if my cervix isn't ready sooner. what was the medication @hooper14
They gave me medication the night before to thin my cervix. There's not reason they can't do that at 39 weeks.
but it won't hurt to ask ! just explain your concerns & what happened the first time
I agree. I just really don't want to go over again. @prego_again And that's what I thought @iloveni0820
my dr told me if my cervix isn't labor ready then he doesn't want to induce me because then it would increase my risk of a c section @prego_again
You can ask, but they will most likely not do it unless medically necessary. In some states it's a law that they can't induce or anything until 41 weeks unless something goes wrong.
