induction ?

edited October 2011 in Pregnant
I see a lot of ladies being induced but not for medical reasons more like just because..so my question is you can asked to be induced before your dd? At how many weeks? & will any doc do it or certain ones? Btw I'm 37 weeks

  • I'm getting induced Wednesday which is only 2 days before my due date bc my husband has to go back overseas and we want him to be here...as long as everything looks healthy with the baby I don't see a problem with it but I wouldn't have chose to do this with no reason...I think u can start to talk to ur Dr around 38 weeks but mine said she wouldn't do it anything less than 39 weeks bc the estimated due date can be 2 weeks off which would put my little guy at 37 weeks minimum...good luck though and congrats!
  • @grantsgirl88 thanks! & congrats to you too! Looking foward to reading your birth story :-)
  • I'm nervous as all get out for sure! I don't think I have had this many emotions at one time lol
  • @grantsgirl88 aww I'm sure you'll be fine,just remember your gonna have a beautiful baby after its done & over with! One more day :-)
  • I was gonna ask to b induced b cuz we have one car right now and hubby works 25 mins away.and im at hme by myself during the day. If i did go into labor he would have to drive 25 mins hme to get me then we would drive 30-35
    Mins to the hospital and he plans on taking a 7 day vacation when the baby gets here.. i dnt wanna sound selfish b cuz i want my baby here now..just dnt wanna end up at the other hospital thats closer to here b cuz they dnt accept my insurance and i would have to pay
