does there have to be a medical reason in order to be induced? my due date is very close to my father's birthday and he passed away when I was little and my entire family is wanting me to have my son on his birthday but I feel that if I do it will take away from my son because of how my family is.
I have been induced so far with both my babies at 39 weeks, supposed to be the same with this one. first one, my Dr was going to be away when I was due and I was having some complications. second one we were having a terrible winter and I lived 2+ hours away from the hospital - he didn't want me snowed in having a baby. this one, I am out of room and having slight issues with chloestasis (?) and we have no family or friends nearby to watch our older children when baby decides to come.
a doctor won't induce unless nessisary. you can be hooked up to pitocin for hours and have no progress unless baby is ready to come out.
ohh gotcha! best bet will be to talk to your doctor. but most doctors won't unless your past 40 wks
@mommybump2016 I want to be induced so that there will be no chances of me having him on my father's birthday.
@mamamj wow good luck
