I am 28 weeks and my son is already 3 pounds. I am inducing myself at 37 weeks.
Please help! My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
It's my turn ladies! Finally, after nearly FORTY-TWO weeks... I decided to get induced. Baby Violet scared me with some decreased fetal movement and I couldn't wait any longer.
How can I induce my labor
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 own when she is ready to come ! As much as I am anxious to meet her and have her home with me, those last few weeks of brain development and lung maturation means so much more to me! I'm hoping and praying that things turn around, and I don't have to get induced. I'm surely going to talk to my doctor about it Thursday when I go back.

I got induced at 39 weeks, and I did end up having a csection. But idk it was directly connected to being induced. I had a large cyst in my ovary that was too big and in my sons way for him to come out naturally.

lots of walking, lots of sex sperms is said to help soften the cervix. but honestly if you don't want to be induced you don't have to be they will just monitor more closely. I was scheduled for an induction and I think knowing what day I was going in made me relax and I think relaxing and not worrying about when he was going to come made me go into labor. my son was only 4 days late

I had no choice. They were worried I would get preeclampsia so I was induced at 37 weeks. They decided at 35 weeks to go ahead and have him come early. Which I'm thankful for or he would have been a 10 lbs baby lol

Did you pick the day you wanted to get induced or was it the doctors choice? Mine asked if I wanted to wait a few days or make the appointment already, I chose to wait. @mrs.japrabbit

I was induced and still had a vaginal birth. Every body is different. Your doctors will know the proper steps. Let them know what you want in advance and they will try and get that for you. A Csection isn't the worst thing it just sucks.

Not most, just a higher number than if labor stared on its own
