Being Induced?..

What are some reasons for you mommies being induced? I have gestational diabetes and I want a natural med free birth so my nurse has been keeping a close eye on my little man's weight. I'm going to talk to her Thursday at my appointment to see if I'm going to have to be induced. Im just curious to know why some of you if any of you had to be induced?

I will be induced next week, as today is my due date. I'm going to ask if they will induce me in the evening on the 28th so my babies days of birth would be 29, 30, and 31.

I have an appointment in a few hours to discuss getting induced this week. I also have GD and I'm not dilating. I'll be 39 weeks on Saturday and my baby is measuring (they think) over 8 pounds. My doc told me with gestational diabetes they don't want the baby to hit 9 pounds because it can cause problems during delivery.

I was induced both times so far because of eclampsia then preeclampsia. I'm hoping to not get preeclampsia this time. :D

I was induced due to baby not moving down into the birth canal, I wasn't dilating fast enough and my cervix wasn't even thinned out at all. My contractions was 1min apart and I was in delivery for more than a day. I was then booked in for a c-section. My precious little girl was born 38wks 4days

I was induced with my first because my water broke and labor didn't start. With my third,I was 8 days over. I am hoping to avoid an induction this time.

I was induced with my first because she was a week late. This one I have gestational diabetes and might have to have a scheduled c section
