getting induced
Im thinking about getting induced. This is my first child. People keep saying that first time moms go into 42weeks and still have to get induced. So why not just get it over with early instead of waiting.
You shouldn't induce unless there is a medical reason for it. Going to 42 weeks the placenta starts to deteriorate, which is why it's medically necessary. Let it happen and enjoy the anticipation of labor. I know a lot of women who wish they had gotten to experience that.
It might be different depending on where you live, but I thought that most US doctors will not induce before 39 weeks unless there is a medical reason to do it.
Not every first tyme Momz go DAT long I'm 36 weeks n first tyme in from the looks of it will b having her soon
Also with inducing it might make you stop progressing which leads to a c-section.
Since this is your first pregnancy, I would not get induced. Inducing will make the contractions way more intense than if you go naturally. I don't know what you're planning as far as pain management (like an epidural or iv drugs) but I would wait for the labor to happen naturally since you don't know to expect yet. I know it's hard waiting but your baby is going to come soon. It's just not ready yet.
Im understanding about anticipation. Can't i still anticipate while waiting. This is crazy nothing is working and im scared to take castor oil eventhough my doc recommended it.
I had my baby at 40weeks and 5days...I made it two days before I was going to be induced.
I'm getting induce in two weeks because of my gestational diabetes I'm so scared!
i say wait for nature to run it course by letting labour come it comes i wrnt natural n all with my first n it was awesome n ill be doing the same this time.round
I got induced with my first and honestly I wish I hadn't. It's exciting to wait and anticipate when the baby will come!
