I am thinking about asking my doctor about being induced not only due to how miserable I am (38 weeks), but also because my husband works 3rd shift & it's almost impossible to get a hold of him because no one is in the office...I'm worried if I let her come on her own I won't be able to get a hold of him...do yall think it's a bad idea to ask?
