How far along are you? I have never been induced but have done some research on it and imo I think its best to let your body do it naturally . Why force something that should happen naturally when you induce theres a higher rate of getting an epidural unless you had planned on one anyway. look at both ways
It's best just to wait until the baby is ready on its own, unless of course you need to be induced for health or safety reasons. Unfortunately a lot of doctors try to push their patients into getting induced so that they will have a more predictable schedule. If there is no reason to get induced I wouldn't recommend it, but that's just my opinion.
Everyones experiences with this always vary. I have heard good stories and bad. I was induced with my first and went natural with my second. When i was induced my labor lasted for 12 hours. Contractions were worse when I was induced so I got the epidural. My second child was all natural and I referred that but all in all my induction went smooth and I had a healthy baby boy
Im 37+4 weeks and he said that he would schedule me for 39+4 i didnt ask why but i suspect its because of my weight? Im pretty overweight :/ so i think it possibly so i dont have a big baby that would result in c section. I just feel like this is all happening so fast.
Maybe you should talk to your doctor. I told my doctor my last pregnancy that I absolutely did not want to be induced. They helped my loose my plug and luckily I went on my own a few days later. I was about 39 and 4. Either way ot is good to talk to your doctor about your concerns and make sure to ask all your questions
