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 ...

Moms,

We've seen lots of posts about moms trying to naturally induce labor quite early. If you are interested in this kind of information, you should seek the advice of a medical professional because every pregnancy is different. For educational purposes and without any judgement, here is what the March of Dimes states about babies born too early. We will also post this on our blog this weekend.

Babies born too early may have more health problems at birth and later in life than babies born lat...

I wish people would stop ignoring the new pregnancy terms.

37 weeks is no longer term.

Your doctor may consider it term if they're an older doctor but do your research you'll see they changed the pregnancy terms due to finding out that baby's lungs, brain, and liver aren't fully developed until 39-40 weeks (term).
