induced at 39w?

edited June 2011 in Pregnant
Dr talked to me about inducing when I hit 39 weeks to ensure that I will not get stuck w the terrible dr I had been dealing with.. who has had elective induction and how did it go?

  • I was induced at 39 weeks because of kidney problems. I had no problems during my induction. The contraction do come faster and they do hurt a little more than natural labor.
  • I had one at 38wks +5. From first contraction to birth....65 mins! Woot Woot. I have to admit she was baby #3.
  • @baby4injuly how long was your 2nd labor? I just had my second and labor lasted 1hr 50min but I was induced. We already are thinking about the 3rd and baby #2 is only 15days old lol
  • My second went very well too.
  • @lilliebug My second was 8hrs. My first...25 hrs!
  • @baby4injuly yeah my first was 20hrs. They are only 15mo apart so that's prolly a big part of the 2nd one being such a fast labor. Kinda makes me not wanna wait too long before having our 3rd lol
  • My dr told me he doesn't induce unless he medically has to until 39 wks. Because the baby is more developed and there's less chance for the mom to get stuck but I had to have a c section with mine due to her being over 9 lbs so he didn't even want to try inducing me
  • @lilliebug my first is 7 yrs older than my second. And my third is only 19 months after my second.
