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...
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.

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!
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.
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.

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 :(
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

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

Anyone?
My turn. Ugh. Induction due to health issues. So far, just had a pill inserted to soften my cervix. And they'll check on me in 2 hours to see how my cervix progressed.
As someone who has had a natural birth and a medically induced birth, I can't possibly understand what the appeal is in being induced. Especially if you haven't even hit 40 weeks yet. I was induced on the exact day I turned 43 weeks with my 2nd child. The only reason I was induced was because I was 43 weeks and not dilated, not effaced, and my cervix was hard as a rock. I'm here to tell you induction is not a walk in the park. Inductions tend to be longer. My first labor was 6 hours, induction was 16 hours. Inductions end in c-sections a lot because the pitocin makes your contractions so strong, it can put the baby into fetal distress. So, I can't understand asking for an induction if you don't MEDICALLY NEED one.
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her own when she is ready to come ! As much as I am anxious to meet her and have her home with me, those last few weeks of brain development and lung maturation means so much more to me! I'm hoping and praying that things turn around, and I don't have to get induced. I'm surely going to talk to my doctor about it Thursday when I go back.
Walking blocks & malls when I hit 36 weeks 😅 i rather walk her out than have to get induced 🤦🏾 ♀ so hopefully I can get her out before my induction date 👏🏾
for you mommy's asking 39 weeks is the NATIONWIDE standard for induction you can ask to be induced at 39 weeks if B makes it to 39 weeks I will be induced

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!
