40 недель и 5 дней, раскрытие 1 см: врач говорит, что нельзя делать индукцию
Induction question
So I'm 40 weeks and 5 days and only 1cm dilated, anywhere btw 60-80% effaced and the baby's head is super low. However, I have not had any contractions and no progress in dilation for the past 2.5 weeks. When I got checked on Saturday my ob said I can't be induced because my cervix isn't ready. Isn't an induction meant to help get the cervix ripened and dilated? What if I don't progress more and I go close to 42 weeks, will she still not induce me? So confused...

Yeah that is weird. People are induced all the time before their cervix is ready. They would give you something like cervadil to help soften your cervix.

Thank you! I thought I was wrong. What she said just confused me ?

I agree ! Cervidil is used to ripen and prepare and pitocin for bringing on contractions. Each person is different so they use either/or and even a combination of them. I was induced and was placed on the pit. Sounds strange she'd say that

Now I just have to figure out how to actually convince her that after 41weeks I want to get induced! I am feeling tired, in pain and have had a lot of nausea. I need someone to help me out and not just ignore my concerns :(

That is strange with my last two pregnancies my water broke and my cervix were closed and there was no dilation so they had to induce labor because it wouldn't start on it's on.

I wouldn't worry about them not inducing. Lots of women go to 42 weeks, as long as there is no distress signs from baby, there's no reason to induce.

I just want her to at least have it in the plans if needed and discuss it with me. I feel like she's very against it. If I need one due to dirty amniotic fluid, meconium, placental degeneration- I want to know that she will at least offer that option and not go straight to c section!

Some doctors follow the bishop score to a t. If you dont score high enough you dont have a favorable induction. My doctor agreed to induce me cause i was having contractions regularly was a little dilated and more than half dilated.baby was also -1 station. So he was head down and had dropped. Sometimes if body isnt ready doctors dont want to risk a failed induction or forced csection. Ask your doctor to explain why they dont want to do it.

When I was scheduled to be induced they were having me come in the night before a morning induction to apply something to my cervix so it would sit over night and soften it. I was only 1cm and barely effaced at 41 weeks when I was was scheduled. I also had zero contractions prior to labor. (got lucky though and my water broke and I went into labor an hour before I was scheduled to be at the hospital). So that doesn't make sense what your doc said. My sister was induced a month early due to preeclampsia so her cervix was certainly not ready. Maybe your doc just wants you to try and go as natural as possible with the induction? Good luck momma!
