What would you choose???! :/

So ladies im 38 weeks today. My OB has given me to choose induction at 39 weeks. Ive had one with my 2nd child so I know how it goes. I hated my induction, it was a rough experience. This is my dilemma. I dint want to do it but my husband can only take his paid vacation time off up until the 20th this month. Well the 20th is my due date! :( or i can be induced the 13th and hell have time off woth me and baby. What would u do? I dont want to be induced but i want my hubby here also.

Yes it definitely will be nice having an extra pair of hands to help. I get anxiety thinking about doing it alone the first week. 5 year old is one thing but chasing around a 1 year old with a newborn, thats a whole different ballgame LOL thank you guys for your opinions. Its really helping me weigh out my options from different perspectives. :)

I would go with the induction. Not only will you be healing from giving birth, but you'll now be doing it with more kids than you have hands. It would be a huge help in that first week to have the support of your husband.

Yeah, that definitely puts things into a good perspective. ^^^ Thank you!! :)

I would do the induction, but I say that because even though it may be rough again, u will have ur hubby to help u through it. And what if u get to ur due date and u still haven't went into labor on your own? Then u will still end up having to be induced, only u won't have ur hubby there. Idk I've never been induced so I really don't know, but it seems like the safer option.  ♡ good luck

Thank you^. I guess im just hesitant because my induction with my son took 3 days :/. However I was induced at 36 weeks so maybe thats why it took so long? Im hoping this time goes a lot faster.

Yeah its only a week early... nothing too early. So if your comfortable with it I would strongly consider it.

[Destynee2015]

Yeah, his boss says he will let him be there for the birth for sure but im mainly wanting him there to help after as well. I think im leaning towards the induction. Thank you for your opinion. :)

I would go for the induction personally as I would rather have my partners support through the labour and after the birth but at the end of the day it's whatever you feel most comfortable with.
