I was 40 weeks when my doc started bringing up induction. I was highly against it. I had zero complications with my baby. Come to find out he was going on vacation and wanted my baby out. He ended up doing a sweep, and I had him at 41 weeks. But he gave me pitocin even though I was already 8 cm and didn’t need it. He was an a**.
Also: side note... he’s now in jail for lying to patients and committing Medicaid fraud. Always trust your instincts! Karma! 🙌🏼
@callher_bunny oh man I'm so surprised. Have u mentioned it to them and that you're concerned. I have a friend, her first baby she had no complications so they let her go on until baby decided to come. Her baby ended up being 11lbs, I do hope that's not you. 😊 She required quite a few stitches
I agree I think they know what's best and most Dr wouldn't have u deliver early if they didn't see a serious reason as to why. Like with me my baby is already big 8lbs and I'm not quite 39wks. But I also have gestational diabetes and high blood pressure so they don't want me to go past 39wks. I'll actually be induced tomorrow.
It depends. As long as you're not at risk and baby isn't, they shouldn't force it on you at all. Waiting really is best. However, for medical reasons, sometimes it really is necessary.
