What are possibilities of your doctor saying yes if you ask him/her to induced you @ 37 weeks??

I'm in a lot of pain also and my Dr told me I can be induced at 39 weeks. But at 38 weeks they are going to strip my membranes.

I doubt they would because of you bein in pain. I know at my hospital they wont consider it until at least 38 weeks. Also some doctors still consider full term to be 37 weeks but most are saying 39 though because development is better.

This is actually my second baby.....my reasons are that I'm in constant pain, can't walk l, can't seat , can't lay down, can't pick up my son which he is only 2, can't please my husband in bed everything I listed can't do with out the constant pain....it's torturing me so bad....

Not likely at 37 weeks. My doctor agreed at 38-39 weeks bc babies daddy works out of state and wont make it in time if I just go into labor. Plus if it's your first baby they will wantyoy to go nnaturally. 37 weeks is full term but baby could need another week or too. Trust me a week or two matters!

Under certain circumstances, they might. I know my doctor told me i could be induced anywhere from 38 weeks onward as long ss my body allows it (depending on if my cervix is soft enough) because the babys father may end up going to jail exactly a week after my due date. Plus i dont want to be driving somewhere thats two hours away in a stressful situation if i end up overdue..

Not very likely unless it's medically needed. Whats your reasoning?
