Before u become pregnant think of this Do I want to be uncomfortable as hell for 40-42 weeks? Do I want to be in…

Like i say everytime. The people that say that have never had a preemie in the NICU. if they did they wouldn't be wishing to have their baby before it was ready.

@bodybycheetos

My first pregnancy I had him vaginally which I almost made it to 40 weeks before my water broke. But with my daughter my water broke at 38+6 days. I had to have an emergency csection because her life was at risk she was trying to come out face first she would of gotten stuck in my birth canal I am telling this story because if you need a csection for medical reasons or because you’ve had one before and can’t have a vaginal birth I get it. But I wouldn’t just choose a csection I honestly could of died I lost half my blood count i was bleeding internally inside my stomach I was stuck in the hospital for 5 days getting 6 bags of blood transfusions when I finally got home I ended up with an infection in my incision and ended up in the ER it was scary it was painful and the recovery was rough. Just let your babies come when they want too. UNLESS it is for medical reasons that you need to be induced or have a csection.

@evildrporkchop.

My oldest was induced at 41 weeks. She was comfy. She didn't want to come 😂

But they didn't want to wait any longer due to risk of pooping in there and getting too big

My youngest came slightly on her own at 38 weeks.

I was considered "helped labor" and ended up needing the pitocin again 🤦

if i knew my son would be less than 5 lbs and need nicu time after a c-section at 39 weeks (medically suggested - not completely necessary) i would have suffered through my kidney infection while pregnant unless it was a last resort. i wish my doctor hadn’t made birth seem like something that needed to happen right away when i may have made it to my due date or further without any complications.

Like i say everytime. The people that say that have never had a preemie in the NICU. if they did they wouldn't be wishing to have their baby before it was ready.

I agree, I even asked back when I was pregnant why so many girls on this app where being induced 36-38 weeks just bc I was new mom and saw it happening left and right.

I gave birth at 37 weeks But I had to have pitocin for a few days, For medical reasons. They where preparing for a C-section in the early morning and he finally came.

Getting induced by choice when there’s no medical reason before 40 weeks is selfish. Because you don’t want worry about when you’ll go into labor or so you can have your doctor be there or even because you’re tired of being pregnant. It’s ridiculous. My induction for pre e was terrible. 26 hours. And I was terrified to be told I needed a c section. It is NOT the easy way out. They cut you open 😱 ya, no thanks.

I will be getting a csection at 39 weeks for medical reasons

Some hospitals give no choice but to induce at a certain amount of weeks like my hospitals wont let anyone go past 41 weeks so u have to be induced at 41 weeks because ur due date can be behind or ahead

Who in their right mind would WANT a Caesar or induction? I was induced at 38 weeks for high-risk and GD. I was in labour for 36 hours. I wouldn't dilate It was a fucking nightmare.

I agree 100% unless the baby’s in danger or mom - I’m very not into inducing and thank gd i said no to it even tho i wanted it this time !

No one should try to self induce until they hit 40 weeks. Your doctor should only induce you for medically necessary reasons. I had my youngest 8 days late and as uncomfortable as it was and painful (could barely walk) I would take being over due over having a premie ANY day.

I was to be induced at 38 weeks for gestational diabetes. I delivered a 9lb baby. Some women have no choice.

My doctor wanted to induce me with my first because I had low fluid, my son measured 4ish weeks behind, and I had been monitored for preeclampsia. I told him to fuck off until I hit 40 weeks exactly. I was induced on my due date and things were okay. Wasn’t fun but it worked.

With my second I wanted to go right to 40 weeks again but instead I had an emergency c section at 29 weeks. As someone who has had a vaginal delivery and a c section I can say both suck, but it definitely sucks more having a premature baby. It wasn’t my choice though.

I was induced for high blood pressure, ended up developing pre e anyways ... ended in a c section. Noooot fun. Especially being my first !

My first daughter came naturally at 35+2, I was put on pitocin but didn't feel anything til the evening when I was definitely in active labor. I was in active labor for 2 and a half hours before she came out. No NICU but she did have to stay in the pediatric ward in the hospital for a week and a half and we were able to go home. Now she's a happy and healthy toddler

Where are people getting the info that C sections are the easiest way and just as optional as asking (with no real reason)?

I had a vaginal birth (with no drug and sure it was painful) with my dd but I did have a C Section when I had a uterine fibroid a few years back and the pain was grueling and healing took about 6 weeks+. Getting sliced across your abdomen is not pleasant.

No thanks!
