Can doctors induce if u ask to? I cannot take it anymore. Hopefully my doctor agrees to induce me according to this app baby's are no longer considered premies @ 37w. Has anyone done this before?

My first was born at 38w. Weighted 7lb14. Not sure how much this baby weights. But hopefully a week doesn't make a big difference is just that I have so much back pain. Before I got pregnant I had an issue with my back because of an accident I don't want to put my baby at risk I I go full term. Not to mention my baby was born via cSection my cervix was to worked out and couldn't bring him down past 5cm.

Your baby is no longer considered full term at 37 weeks. You are now full term at 39 weeks. As of last year is when doctors are supposed to consider the baby full term. They will only induce you if you have a medical reason that makes it imperative. It ***** being so uncomfortable,  but it's better for baby to be carried full term.

No doctor will do it before 39weeks. Yes your baby is considered full term at 37 weeks but still needs that extra couple weeks to gain more body fat to keep him or her warm.

I am getting induced at exactly 37 weeks because of high blood pressure and he was cautious about even doing it than! Most doctors wont induce just because your done. I wish, though! Good luck.

I really don't know but at the end of the day it's the mothers choice, well that's what I think. Some say they have to run many test on you to make sure the baby's lungs are formed. I have an appointment this Monday I'll ask my ob

They will not induce you just because you want to before 39 weeks unless there is a medical reason for them to induce such as preeclampsia or other serious complications
