If your baby is pretty big and you still got 4 weeks to go can you ask your doctor if you can be…

Just depends, some doctors might let you, but some doctors won't unless they feel it's a risk.

also if I'm not mistaken, when you get induced you up your chances of having a c-section as well.

How big is your baby?

@their.bomb.ass.mom, you are right. the chances of a c-section increase.

You're baby would have to be over 9 and a half pounds by your due date in order for them to want you to have your baby early..

At 35 weeks my son was 9 ibs and 10 ounces. I wasn't allowed to be induced until 39 weeks. The risk either way is always gonna be there.

being induced raises your chances of having a c section

I was induced and my son weighed 10lbs 9.8oz the day he was born.

and this baby they told me that if by 37 weeks if this baby is looking as big as my son did they were gonna induce me at 37 weeks because my son was too big and after I had him I had severe blood loss.

It's hard to say. The estimates for size are never very accurate before birth. And inducing will increase the chance of a c section :(

Oh ok... because with my first daughter she weighted 6 lbs 9 Oz I was induced because she was big that's what my dictionary said but I had gestational diabetes and with this pregnancy I'm healthy no problems at all but it weights 6 lbs already and I have 5 more weeks to go.

I meant my Doctor sorry hate auto correction.
