Got a question for second time mommies...I'm due July 23rd but my doctor might be outta town around that time frame he asked me if I wanted to be induced but I would REALLY like to wait for her to come in her own but I REALLY want my doc to be there when it is time, so I guess my question is if I choose to induce how soon or early can I do it ?? My fiance wants her to be induced on July 4th but I feel that's 2 weeks she can still be incubating.
Technically a full term baby is 37 weeks but personally I would want baby to grow as much as he/she can. They gain about a pound a week in the last weeks, so that will make a significant difference if baby got here 2 or even 3 weeks earlier than if baby came naturally. Also to consider, there is a greater chance of a c-section if baby is induced. If you really want your doctor to be there, I would say to go for the induction. I don't know how it works where you are, but where I am, the doctor that delivers your baby is the doctor on call. So if your baby did come naturally, there's a chance your doctor may not even be the one to deliver.. Like I said, this is how it is where I live, not sure if your hospital is the same.
The doctor is only there for a split second. The longer the baby is in, the better!(:
My honest opinion would be to not induce. In my experience, the doctor is only in the room for a few minutes while you're giving birth. Your key people are the nurses. I'd let my baby cook as log as possible rather than inducing just so my doctor can be there.
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 ...
I got a dumb question. 😁😂 so I always shaved before I went in to be induced. But this time I don't think am. But my friend was telling me that if my hair is long enough they will trim it while I'm in labor. 😂 But since it's coming from her I can never believe what she says. 🙄 has this ever happened to anyone? Lol I would like to know that way I'll just attempt to shave before I get induced Monday.
I think it’s really starting to set in that next week is my due date 😱 I hope she comes on time and doesn’t take after her brother and come 2 weeks late I want my babies together for Christmas 🎄😍❤️
My doctor was going to induce me this week my husband doesn’t want that and wants me to allow her to come on her own I chose to respect his wishes and let her come naturally but selfish me really wants my baby here 😭😭😭😭
serious question though... how common is it to have to get induced...at first I really wanted to get induced so I can have my BD come from out of state to be there for the birth but now i don't think I want to deal with medically induced contractions...lol..😟
Is it rude to not want anyone at the hospital?
I was just informed that my MIL wants to be waiting at the hospital so as soon as I pop out the baby she can rush in to be with the baby. I am really a private person and dont really want anyone at the hospital when I give birth (except my husband). I was planning on calling all the family to come to the hospital once I was all cleaned up and ready for visitors. Am I being rude? How do I tell them I dont want visitors a minute after pushing out...
I was induced at 39.5 and he stayed 2 days. I had another naturally at 37.1 and stayed 2 days (one was 5 lbs 10 oz and the other was 6 lbs 4 oz). I had one naturally at 39.5 and we stayed one day and he was 6 lbs. 6 oz. I think 38 weeks induction is perfectly fine if it's important to you to have your doctor there. Although with my first, my doctor wasn't there and I ended up liking the doctor I got better and switched afterwards to her practice LOL!
