Inducing question...

[NeonPops]

So, I'm 37 weeks, ftm and 28 years old. I have what is called ankylosing spondylitis, which is a fusing spine. My back has always been terrible, since I was a kid, and when I was diagnosed years ago, like seven years, a few of my vertibre at the tail end of my spine have already fused.

My back was hurting like normal through my pregnancy, but now, now he has dropped, and the pain causes me to collapse, I'm unable to walk, I can't work anymore, and I'm stuck in bed. This is even with me stretching and swimming like I am supposed to. Its gone to my hips even and its now traveling up my spine. I really want my baby to make his appearance when he is ready, but seeing that he is my first, I'm guessing he will be late.

I physically can NOT do this anymore, and with the past two days of non-stop contractions, I just want him out and want this over with. Do you think its possible that my doctor might want to induce me when I see her this week, or will they make me wait?

I don't think I can, and I just want to know, do doctors induce in situations like this?

You should ask your doctor every Dr is different

I have fused vertebra in my lower back as well and separated pelvic bone and extremely bad arthritis in my lower back pelvic bone and hips and with none of mine did they induce for back pain. Most days my husband has to practically carry me to the bathroom it's horrible I feel for you. I was told to get a Cain I never did try one though. I was lucky enough to have my first two early thru induction but that was for high blood pressure and other complications.
I hope they do something for you and I hope labour isn't to hard on your back
