Can you choose to be induced at 39 weeks without a medical reason? I'm so tired of worrying because…

Nope, not without medical reason

Try drinking something real cold and sweet, then lay down for about an hour. You should feel her, if not you can call l&d

I'm gonna pm u

Girl don't do it! It was the worst thing ever! The contractions were so intense! I won't ever do it again!

Depends on who your doctor is but most won't let you get induced unless it's medically needed or you went over your due date

Drink a little soda and lay down for an hour and do kick counts. If you don't feel any movements then trust your gut! If you feel like you need to go in to be monitored then go in girl! Nothing wrong with just checking to make sure everything is ok 😊

@annekam1022, I agree with u. Don't get induced. Lol. The contractions were SO bad with the pitocin. It was totally worth it since it did speed up the time to see my baby girl, and it wasn't too bad for me, I ended up getting the epidural about 2 hours after the pitocin. But still worst pain ever!

@alimtz0510, 13 hours of active labor 6 unmedicated I was going for no pain med but that didn't happen because I was in so much pain! I was screaming and crying.

@annekam1022, oh my goodness! I went in at 8:30am with no pain but slight contractions and I was already a 4 with contractions 4 minutes apart. Went until 2pm, I was a 5 and got my water broken and was put on the pitocin, at 4pm I couldn't anymore, I was also crying and close to screaming, so I got the epidural then by 6:30pm I started pushing and had my baby 20 minutes later at 6:55pm 💕 it was a fast labor! I also was trying not to get the mess but there was no way I could have made it to a 10 like that.

I went in at 6:00am at a 2 and 50 effaced. Started pitocin at 7am. Got my water broke at 11am at a 5. I was a 7 at 1pm until 7pm. I wasn't progressing and my sons heart beat kept dropping in the 40s because of the epidural I got. They talked about and emergency c-section because of his heartbeat and my bp dropping. Then all of a sudden I hit a 10 in an hour and he was born at 8:14pm! @alimtz0510,

@annekam1022, oh wow! Tough labor!

Ya it was horrible! @alimtz0510,
