39 week induction

It was explained to me that the office policy is to induce at 39 weeks! I'm not thrilled. Should I be looking for a new Dr?

They can force you to induce they can only talk to you about your options... It's your choice not theirs... If they are trying to force you then yes I would find another doctor... Who the hell has a policy like that!!!

That's ridiculous.  Doc probably wants to go on vacation.  Ask for a waiver/refusal form.  They can't force to undergo induction at 39 wks if you don't want to.  Especially if it's not medically necessary.  How many weeks are you right now?

They can't do anything to you that you don't want to do. Just tell them that you don't want to be induced, yet.
