Early induction brought up at 24wks?
I saw someone ask if a dr would induce early if the paitent wanted it... But my question is have any of you had you dr tell you they wanted to induce you a week early for no reason??
I went in today, at 24wks, and my dr told me she wanted to induce me dec 16th. Thats a week before im due. At my 20wk ultra sound my baby was measuring normal, I havent had any major issues this pregnancy and my 1st child was only 8lbs 5oz.. So im not understanding why she would bring this up?
I was a little shocked and after I told her I wanted to try to go natural she just kept talking. Do you think its because im due dec 23rd and she doesnt want to take the chance of him being born on christmas or having to induce me between christmas & new years?

@usmcwifemommy101107 @loveourlittleone I told her I wasnt interested and that I wanted to let my baby come when he is ready. She just said "we'll see"
She tried to tell me there was a higher chance of complications with a 2nd baby, which i have never heard before..now im worried she will lie about his size or something to get me to go along with it

To me personally that would be a big red flag, especially since you want to go naturally if she is pressing for an induction now for no reason, it shows that she doesn't have you and your baby's best interest in mind.
And if she is bringing it up now it wont stop her and as it gets closer she will probably continue to push for it and I'm the kind of person who gets paranoid and would start to think that she would make up a reason to induce me.
If I were in your shoes I would personally be looking for a new Dr now.
Dr's who want to induce for their own reasons and not medical reasons are not good Dr's. At least in my opinion.
So I told my new midwife this. She said she'd never cut unless she'd tell me first!! How rude for the 1st dr to do this to me for his convience! Do not do it if you don't want to. Just to appease the dr. Or find a new one. A dr chooses this profession knowing things may arise on holidays.
