Actually a lot of doctors will induce you at 39 weeks if you just ask them especially if its not your first baby.
So its not weird for her to be induced 2 days before her due date.
There doesn't have to be anything wrong nor you past your due date to get induced. In today's society, a lot of doctors are suggesting women to get induce if they don't dilate or anything starts to happen for labor they will induce you. I really don't know her situation but she may be telling the truth..... I'm pregnant now & my due date is Aug 3 my doctor suggested me to get induced July 28th but I'm trying to wait it out & if nothing happens, he will induce me July 30 or August 1st
I'm a ftm and getting induced at 39 weeks so my husband can be here for the birth...no medical issues. He works out of state half a year and would not be here if I wasn't to get induced and he wanted to be here terribly so my doctor ok'd it and I'm going in Sunday night :))
But if babys fine why would they induce her and I know thibgs are different from ftm and I guess repeating mothers lol but isnt that causing unnecessary risks possibly ? Why not let it happen naturally she hasnt had a problem with her previous pregnancy and this pregnancy is fine and another reason I questioned it was because when she was6 mnths it looked like she was goin any day and now that she is days away she looks like shes having twins and shes always looked further along than what she was when she was 2 months she looked 4 months. It just seems weird I jnow every pregnancy is different my mom has 5 kids 3 of which I was was there every step of the way with tr he pregnancies ny aunt is just being really strange maybe I'm too much in my emotions idk
Thank you ladies, I think you ladies proved to me that I'm being b I t c h y
All pregnancies are different lol and that's ok! If it risked her or baby's life and usually the main concern with induction is if it's your first baby you might have to get a c-section but even that's not horrible. I have a couple people I've been talking to about getting induced and having a c-section and they say it's worth it and it's not as awful as most women make it sound, longer recovery but you have to recover either way. I wouldn't fret to much ;)
All pregnancies are different. And ifnshes on her third its super common to look absolutely huge. I'm twice the size I was with my first. Its normal. She should let it come naturally but doctors okay those things all the time.
