I have something very important on my heart to say. If you don't like it that's fine I wouldn't care if you didn't. But since I've been on this site I've seen so many women saying that the doctor are scheduling them to be induced. My thing is that I can't stand doctors. Bc of there seniority what they say that is healthy for you or your child is valid which may not be true all the time majority of the time it's not. So to induce a woman that has no complications with their pregnancy is asinine. There has only been 2 or 3 women on her that say exactly the reason for them to get induced because of preeclampsia or high blood pressure. Also because they are already contracting at 33 or 32 week. Witch are valid reasons. I'm not putting anyone down, but people use your weakness against you. Meaning the fact that you are ready to see your baby or you just want to be done with being pregnant. They use that, and I can see why a woman would agree. But you put your child's health at risk because of your own selfish reasons. Majority of doctors suggest inducing because think of it YOU ARE NOT THERE ONLY PATIENCE. They are on call. So to make there jobs easier is to try and schedule every pregnancy that they can to line up with a decent amount of time. I mean in case something does go wrong potentially. But that's a big IF. I see the comments that people make on here bc they are just defending there child or there reasoning for the decision that they have or are going to make. I'm all for it. But why not defend against your doctor because he say he is qualified to say so? Good question! But it's a rhetorical question. I wanted to share that bc doctors are people and everyone loves a short cut to make there life easier. So if there's know reason to get induced health wise for you or your child then he shouldn't even suggest it. If you are 40 weeks baby haven't came. There are no leeks and you are not fully dilated. You have up to 2 week for the doctor can suggest inducing. Lady just get a second opinion If something doesn't feel right. There's no need to rush your pregnancy when you almost there. But if you do make sure it's your reason and not the doctor! ONE LOVE
My first one I was induced due to VERY high blood pressure. Like both numbers on top and bottom were three numbers. With this one I'm due in 25 days and I will not be induced. I want and need my body to do its own thing. We were made to have babies so what's the point and adding all this other crap. I've seen stories where women get induced because their babies "might" be big and come out only 6lb. Crazy! My daughter was 9lb 3oz with no pain meds and had to be vuccumed out. It all can be done, our bodies do this.
I'm in that same boat love u took the thought right out of my head my mom went 42 weeks with me I had to deliver early with my 1st bc of preterm lador & with this pregnancy I'm to b able to have a vbac & I am praying everyday my son will not b hard headed like my daughter lol
I agree with you fully I was induced with my first because I was 42 weeks and they told me all the risk factors of going over 42 weeks. but this pregnancy I plan to letting it come when it comes if I go before 42 weeks. I believe baby comes when they are ready
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
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?

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 .!
I agree as long as the choices are yours and not based solely on a doctor. You know as a woman what you can physically take and sometimes what you think you can take is far more beyond your actual thought.@adamsbaby2016, I'm with you on that!
