So 39 weeks is considered full term now and my doctor wants to induce me at 36 weeks no I'm not doing it now I want my son to be full term and healthy. I do not want anything to be wrong. I'm going to try everything to make sure my uterus expands out more.

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

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!

@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

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

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

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!

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....

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