induction

For what reasons will a doctor induce your labor, just curious?

No other question just curious if it was only medically necessary or if some doctors make exceptions. Not a big issue nor a big deal just asking.

I'm getting induced tomorrow because i'm almost 2 weeks past my due date. With my first she came right on time and on her own, so I'm pretty nervous about this one.

keona,  I have a strong sense there's another,  more detailed question you are trying to get answered here.

If I may,  can I ask why you ask this?  You might get different answers if you ask more specifically what you want to know.

Best wishes.

My dr. induced my last pregnancy @ 39 wks cause I was due on my first sons bday. Most drs. only induce if there is a medical concern or your over your due date. My boys bday is sept 23 & 28... all drs. are different though

I was induced with my 3rd because with my 2nd I nearly had her in the car. I labored at home & figured I had plenty of time to get to the hospital but it wasn't so. I arrived at the hospital at 8:37am @ 4cm & had her at 9:07am. It seems I get to a certain point in dialation (4-6cm) then I advance too rapidly to risk not making it to the hospital.
