I'm a labor and delivery nurse, and I've had women have 3 day inductions. As long as baby and mom are ok, no reason to jump the gun. some women need more time to actually get into true active labor than others.

if baby/mother is in danger or stressed, definitely!!!

@kattastrophe oh okay. I told her she needs to stop worrying about having a scar & just have the csection lol

I mean, the biggest risk is baby being too large, maybe meconium in the water or something. otherwise, as long as they're monitoring heartrate it should fine @gemini_610

@jaycemommy I was induced too, but I was 38 weeks. the induction part isn't too bad, contractions are the worst part. mine felt like my hips were going to break with each contraction I had & they were off the charts. I could handle that pain tho, but I couldn't handle getting the iv stuck in my hand lol I cried like a baby when they did that.

@gabrielmom21 @kattastrophe I've heard that its different when you're already a week over the due date & that going too far over can risk the baby dying. She was induced over 24 hours ago & is still only 1 cm.

I never got induced or took meds, and I was in labor 36 hours. they would've let me keep going longer for sure. I was 39 weeks though

after 15 hours in labor the doctor ask me if I wanted a c-section or keep trying for a natural I'm was extremely tired so I got a c-section I was 40 weeks and 1 day

Poor thing. Good question tho, I wonder too...I'm scheduled for induction on Monday
