I know I've posted this before, and I'll probably post this again. I'm sorry. But, it blows my mind how many people agree to induction just because their doctor said it was an option and/or they've reached full term. There are a million medical reasons for induction, "the baby may* be big." or "well, you've reached 38 weeks, so, if you'd like to induce" are NOT valid excuses.

Valid reasons?:

-- Fetal-development issues

-- High blood pressure or preeclampsia

-- Gestational or preexisting diabetes

-- Infection

-- Problems with the placenta Ruptured membranes.

The list can go on and on... but you won't see "I'm full term" on there. 🤔

Estimated Due Dates are just that! ESTIMATED. Only 5% of EDD are correct. They can be wrong up to 2 weeks! Mine was! You may think you're 39 weeks, but you may only be 37.

More than 25 percent of infants born electively between 37 and 39 weeks required admission to the NICU for an average of 4.5 days, compared with fewer than 5 percent of infants who were delivered at 39 weeks or later.

Newborns delivered at 37 weeks are 3x more likely to experience respiratory distress syndrome (a severe newborn lung disease), transient tachypnea (rapid breathing), pneumonia, a need for a ventilator, and respiratory failure as babies born between 39 and 40 weeks. At 38 weeks and after the infant in the womb will start to grow "brown” fat around her organs, which will help her to generate heat in the first few weeks of her life.

I know we are all moms, and we are all just trying to make the best choices and raise our children the best we can. I get that. I just feel like more people need to be aware that so many doctors will offer induction only because they make 3x the amount of money off a surgery (c-section) than off vaginal birth. Don't let them take advantage. Know your body. You can do this! 🙌🏼💕

Ugh! Yes! I so wish I had known this as a FTM 😭😭😭😭 I was induced 2 days before my due date bc there was a little extra protein in my urine (not enough to be diagnosed with preeclampsia) and I was suuuuuuper swollen, but show me a women 40 weeks pregnant in July that isn't 🙄 I labored for 50 hours before they did another ultrasound to discover my son was sunny-side up and breach. Then, they told me a cesarean was my only option. I wish I had chose to wait and let him come on his own. He was jaundice and we ended up in the hospital for 5 more days after he was born. With this one, I definitely want to do a VBAC and refuse to be induced unless MEDICALLY necessary. No picking my baby's birthday here!

Wow. I didn't know any of this. I was induced by my choice. My husband had deployed right after our son was born. I thank the lord I had an easy & short delivery. Not very many women are lucky. I had not complications what so ever. Vaginal delivery. I know that a cesarian could've happened but I delivered between 39 & 40 weeks. My water broke on its own.

If I have another baby I'm not sure if I'll want to be induced again. The absolute worst part of it was the contractions. Where I delivered, the doctors avoid cesarians as much as they can. I'm thankful for a wonderful experience. I just wish moms like you took time to post things like this so other mommas can be educated. Thank you for sharing this because I can share it with my mom friends❤️

Moms, We've seen lots of posts about moms trying to naturally induce labor quite early. If you are interested in this kind of information, you should seek the advice of a medical professional because every pregnancy is different. For educational purposes and without any judgement, here is what the March of Dimes states about babies born too early. We will also post this on our blog this weekend. Babies born too early may have more health problems at birth and later in life than babies born later. Being pregnant 39 weeks gives your baby's body all the time it needs to grow. Here's why your baby needs 39 weeks: Important organs, like his brain, lungs and liver, get the time they need to develop. He is less likely to have vision and hearing problems after birth. He has time to gain more weight in the womb. Babies born at a healthy weight have an easier time staying warm than babies born too small. He can suck and swallow and stay awake long enough to eat after he's born. Babies born early sometimes can't do these things. Can scheduling an early birth cause problems for you and your baby? Yes. Experts are learning that scheduling an early birth for non-medical reasons can cause problems for mom and baby. Below are examples of problems that can happen when a birth is scheduled too soon for a non-medical reason. Your due date may not be exactly right. Sometimes it's hard to know just when you got pregnant. Even with an ultrasound, your due date can be off by as much as 2 weeks. If you schedule to induce labor or schedule a cesarean birth (also called a c-section) and your date is off by a week or 2, your baby may be born too early. Inducing labor may cause problems for you and your baby. These can include: Stronger and more frequent contractions. This happens for many women. Contractions are when the muscles of your uterus get tight and then relax. Possible infections Uterine rupture. This is when the uterus tears during labor. It happens very rarely. Inducing labor may not work. If your labor is induced, the medicine your doctor or certified nurse-midwife (also called CNM) gives you may not start your labor. When this happens, you may need to have a c-section. A c-section can cause problems for your baby. Babies born by c-section may have more breathing and other medical problems than babies born by vaginal birth. (Most babies are born by vaginal birth. The mother's uterus contracts to help push the baby out through the vagina, also called the birth canal.) C-sections can cause problems in future pregnancies. Once you have a c-section, you may be more likely in future pregnancies to have a c-section. The more c-sections you have, the more problems you and your baby may have, including problems with the placenta. A c-section is major surgery for mom. It takes longer for you to recover from a c-section than from a vaginal birth. You can expect to spend 2 to 4 days in the hospital after a c-section. Then you need about 4 to 6 weeks after you go home to fully recover. You also may have complications from the surgery, like infections and bleeding. So it's important to stay in touch with your health care provider even after you go home. Please talk to your doctor or midwife about this topic. Share your respectful thoughts and we'll add it to our article. Thanks, mom.life_USA

Sometimes you know your body better than everyone else. Not every woman will produce high levels of hcg throughout pregnancy some it can take weeks some it can take months don’t trust a blood test don’t trust a urine test trust your heart and when you know it’s times it’s time this doctor was not a gynecologist so he did not give me a quantitative blood test to actually see what my hcg level is at I hope this helps some of you ladies who just feel like giving up and stop testing because of what everyone else thinks or what a doctor tells you trust your body you know your body better than a blood test and a pee test and god will lead you to the right path
