Well im 39 weeks today my due date is in a week on the 25th if i don't go in labor before or on my d-date can i ask for an induction? will they do it or will they make me wait till i go into labor on my own? i read that they do inductions when your 41+ weeks i just wanted to know what are the chances of them doing it for me at 40 weeks?

I think they let her go solong becuase her first date was march 14, then all the ultrasound dates put her at Feb 29, I think she's gonna  have a BIG baby.

are u sure you wanna be induced? in my personal history and other i know, inducing only makes the labor that much more difficult. besides being hooked up to all kinds of machines and an iv, your stuck at the hospital all day and by the time your ready to push your already so worn out.

With my last, my Dr scheduled me for two days later. That was the earliest he had available. Worked out fine, gave me time to wrap that last minute, packing stuff. So honestly it will depend on your Dr's schedule I'm sure.

Yeah! If you let your Dr know you're in pain, they will usually go ahead and induce.

It all depends on your dr. My sister was at 38w and we went in and just told the dr. how much pain she was in (she wasnt) and stuff like that. And then induce that day. My SIL got induce one week before her due date.

My doctors always wanted to induce me ON my due date if I hadn't gone on my own. Luckily they stripped my membranes the Friday before I was due and I went into labor at home.
