So 39 weeks is considered full term now and my doctor wants to induce me at 36 weeks no I'm not…

36 weeks has NEVER been considered full term. Even before the change. I wouldn't go for it.

Unless it's for medical reasons!! I had to be induced with my oldest at 36 weeks due to high blood pressure. She was 6lbs 6oz, didn't require any nicu stay....

Someone I babysat for had to be induced at 36 weeks because her baby wasn't growing properly on the inside, she had her little girl a day after I had my boy. I was 41+5 and he weighed 8lbs14oz, her baby was 4lbs. Now at two months mine is 14lbs and is considered huge, but was 2 weeks late, and her is 6lbs. but a month early. It's crazy how much difference a couple weeks can make and how our EDDs can be up to two weeks off!

@halsey11, it is for a medical reason my uterus is not expanding the way it should be.

@makayleigh, true

@ceeasquared, true but they did at one point considered it.

@xxrockeyy11_26_16, obviously if baby isn't thriving inside, outside is better. Even if it's a couple weeks early.

@halsey11, idk I just want my son to be healthy. There are a few things I can try at home to help it expand so we'll see what theses next 11 weeks and 2 days hold

I understand your concern about going early but doctors are trained, if it were me I would get a second opinion and if both doctors say yes I would absolutely induce!

@katiem2053, I am going to talk to another doctor to get another options. Thanks

Normally 37 weeks is full term until 40 weeks. From 37 weeks on your baby gains a 1/2 a lb a week

Okay @hannahrose61516
