To induce at 39 weeks or wait

As long as my cervix is thinning at 39 weeks my doctor offers induction and I will be doing it! I don't want him to come any earlier and definitely don't want to have to wait longer than needed as long as he is healthy! That's all that matters is baby's health so if dr thinks you are okay to induce I don't see an isssue!

Ive been debating the same thing! I still dont know what im going to do. My first i was 40 weeks and tore soo bad because he was big

This one is measuring bigger then my first so im scared to wait the full 40 weeks!:( idk what to do! The midwife said she suggests 39 weeks because he was already measuring 6lbs 60th percentile at 34 weeks!!

Just let your body and baby do what it needs to do naturally. If there is not a NEED for induction, which honestly there rarely is, why do it?

My first two pregnancies my body wouldn't go naturally 42 weeks I finally got induced with both. This pregnancy I'm getting induced but it's due to medical reasons at 39 wks. I do believe if you can hold out its better for the baby, but 39w is considered full term. Good luck!

I am getting induced tomorrow morning at 39 weeks. My doctor offers it and my first child was born at exactly 39 weeks naturally so I said why not?

I was induced with both of my boys and will be induced with this baby at 39 weeks. My doctor agreed to it because my husband is deployed and my mom will only be visiting for a short period of time. I would rather not go into labor and be all alone. There is definitely nothing wrong with waiting though :)

I got induced at 39+4 cuz my son was measuring large. I was wanting a smooth vaginal delivery and was concerned about a shoulder dystocia or needing a csection. I'm ultimately glad we elected to induce. My delivery went really smoothly and I had only a tiny first degree tear despite the baby being bigger than even the ultrasound estimates (9lb 9 oz).
