My doctor is allowing me to induce, they would only do it a week early which is fine, but I'm doing it for family reasons and they didn't say anything was wrong with doing it. I would ask then to make it even easier do things to bring baby out like sex, walking, exercises, things to make being induced easier. The worst they can say is no

i would suggest just waiting till he's ready...
plus if your friend can't make it the day of..it s better for you to be more ready.. instead of being tiered and sore..and whatnot..
i would just ask your doctor at next appointment and see what they recommend

Its always better to wait until baby is ready unless there is a medical reason to induce. There are many complications that can arise by not letting nature take its course. Voluntary non medical inductions is one of the reasons the c-section rate in america is so high. (I don't know where you live sorry) I know @homebirthadvocate can elaborate a little more on what I'm saying.

I say wait till your baby is ready

I hear labor is a lot more painful to induce.

I live in las vegas too what hospital are you delivering at?

cheryl74 · July 2011

I was induced with my first and the labour was awful, I personally believe it was because she wasnt ready, I went in naturally with my second and it was a breeze. No pain relief and baby was calm and happy. Ita only my personal opinion but I would wait. Good luck either way x

I have been induced twice...
1st time I was over due... Not alot of pain and came really fast.
2nd time also quick after water is broke look out for me.. Pain came but by time I called for a epidoral they came and he was ready to.come out.
I will be induced again because if my water was to break at home I.dont know of I could ever make it to a hospital... I am almost a hour away.

I was 41+1 when I got an induction. The pitocin worked really fast but I had to push 4 1/2hrs! Jaden just wasn't ready to come. They almost did a csection but that last few pushes I got sick and the vomiting actually helped him push down lol that birth was traumatic for me! I say wait till u have signs of labor, to avoid uneeded stress.

lae3 · July 2011

yep.. you have a higher risk of having a csection.. cause its medical intervention.. my first few went ten days over.. and i had to be induced.. and i had pitocin with my first and with my second i had a series of cervix softeners and i liked the cervix softeners and although the second induction took longer i would prefer that method .. cause it was more like natural labor progression and not just the full on contractions.. but its an individual decision.. just do all you can to prepare that cervix.. its better if your already started.. thinning and dialating before induction.. good luck with your decission %%-

I was induced with my last lo. It was actually my quickest and easiest delivery. I think everyone just responds to induction differently. I went natuarlly at 41 weeks with one of my lo's and it was my longest hardest delivery. And I self induced with castor oil with 3 of my lo's. They were long labors but easy deliveries. So every one person and delivery is different.

I think you should just wait until your baby is ready. It's nice that your friends and family want to be there, but you really shouldn't induce unless there is a problem. How would you feel if your doctor wanted to induce you because they were going on a trip? Same situation.
Induction is harder on your baby and often makes labor more painful. It is proven that once an induction has been started the risk of a C section and complications with your baby increase.

laura536 · July 2011

You should talk to your dr. I was induced with my daughter, the day before my due date. It was a great experience and I would do it again, no questions. Your dr may or may not allow it, or you may be dilating, contracting on your own and come before the induction date and have everyone miss it anyway. And as much as everyone wants to be there, you may miss bonding with your baby or get frustrated with the extra people around those first few days, it might be better to have them wait until you are home to visit. Good luck!

I wouldn't because I hate c sections, and there's an increased risk of c section. But if you don't mind c section they hey....go for it.

YAYA · July 2011

Yeah I know they let you do it some Dr say after 38wks and others say 39wks so baby will be full term and healthy.

to get induced or not?
