how far along do I have to be to asked to be induced?

I was induced twice, once at 37 weeks, and the next time at 38 weeks. It can be done, and without medical reason. Example, my husband was in Iraq and he planned to come home for the birth. Every doc is different! Mine was an old school by the books geezer! And he did it!

also a lot if insurance companies won't cover being induced before 39 weeks unless medically necessary. My OB couldn't even do my c-section before 39 weeks because of insurance not covering unless I go into labor or there is something really wrong

I'm being induced a week or 2 before my due date do to gestational diabetes

Was told by my doctor they can not legally induce before 39 weeks unless absolutely medically necessary otherwise they could get sued. Just depends when your doctor would let you. Mine would let you go to 42 weeks but I'm asking to be induced at 39 because she said she would do it.

it depends on your doctor, but none will induce before week 39 unless needed for medical reasons

@camrynnsmommy I'm sure it's not that they don't want to go full term, the only way you can be induced before 39 is a medical issue.

it's 39 weeks for no medical reason... BUT they can tell you no.

I was induced at 37 weeks exactly.

my ob does it after 36wks but has to have a rly good reason y the bby should come

I was 40 weeks i asked mostly because my fiancé was driving truck and was losing money from being home so long

darn. the reason I asked is cuz I've seen women say they r being induced at 35 weeks cuz they don't want to go full term

At least 39 weeks with some obgyn but some will wait until after your due date. Just talk to your doctor and see what they say

I believe it's 42 weeks they usually don't before unless medically necessary
