My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...

Maybe I'm wrong, but I feel like if natural safe things like sex, and walking don't induce labor then chances are baby isn't ready to come yet.😕 Why not just let your baby come on their own, unless your doctor induces you because you're over 40 weeks or other medical reasons...

I don't understand trying to self induce at 37 weeks. 37 weeks is not considered full term anymore, 39 weeks is. They've determined those last few weeks matter. If it was for a medical reason, you would be medically monitored and induced. Being tired of being pregnant isn't a reason to try to induce yourself at home, at 37 weeks. You didn't know this was a 40+ week process when you decided to go through with it?

I just might need one of these with the cold coming in a few days

I don't get why everybody be so " pressed " to be induced .. Being induced should only happen if there is something wrong with the baby not because your getting tired of carrying the child .. The baby will come when their ready .. Let them cook , when your induced they drug the baby .. Read up on inducing before you make a decision like that .. No shade to anyone either I'm just sharing a little knowledge especially to some of you young new mommies .!
