induction

I have five days left until my due date and still no baby girl yet. There are at least 4 women I know that have been due around my time and they have all been induced. One girl I know is a week behind me and has an induction scheduled for next week. Is being induced just really common and normal??

It's also not good to force the baby out when it's not ready either.

There are a lot of medical reasons to induce and they have learned that its not good for baby to go too much past due date because the placenta starts to age
