induced

Does anyone know if I could ask to be induced on my next appointment due to distance from the hospital? I live two hours away from the nearest hospital and I'm due on the 11th of April and my next appointment is Tuesday the 31st.. Would they consider it?

It depends on your doctor. I was induce both pregnancies & will ask to be induced with my 3rd baby. They only induce if your 39weeks or over. & mine wasn't medical reason. So when you go talk to your ob bout it asap & they will give you an ok but have to see wat days the delivery room will be ready & wat room you'll be in

We live 3 hours from the hospital and they wouldn't induce ahead of time. I'm scheduled for induction on Tuesday but we're 41 weeks.

It's my second pregnancy,  I was ten days overdue with my first and I went in at half three in the morning and he was born seven minutes to ten that morning which I know isnt that soon but it's meant to be much quicker on your second, I've also been getting really really bad pressure on this one that it feels like he could fall out any minute it's quite painful and comes on me randomly but at least 20 times throughout the day, also went docs yesterday and he said there are white cells in my urine, he mentioned it could be my cervix softening, does anyone else know what it could be?

The good news is that for most women, labor is a slow process.  I was in labor for many hours at home before going to the hospital.  You should have time to make it without issue.  good luck

Doctors don't like to induce first pregnancies due to a higher rate of c sections.  I was 10 days overdue when I had my first.  But it never hurts to ask.  good luck
