Induced Concern?

I'm going to be 35 weeks pregnant and I haven't took my prenatals in like 2 months and I'm just so tired all the time and want to get induced as soon as possible what is the earliest that I can get induced! I really don't know how much longer I can hold him?

Im 34wks3days, and I am anemic (low iron) and my doc suggested I started taking iron supplements along with my prenatals, which I started and what a difference it has made with my fatigue.

If you have a phone with an alarm on it it would be a good idea to set a daily alarm to remind you to take your prenatals. You'll need the energy and strength from them when you do go into labor anyhow. Baby's can hang out low for long time. Mine has been head down and low since about 28wks. Ugh it's so uncomfortable so I know how your feeling :-)

Why did you stop taking your prenatals? That's probably why you're so tired all the time. You also may have become anemic. At 35 wks you're not full term yet. Baby still has a lot of development in the last few weeks.

Prenatal and iron really helped my energy.  Your body needs extra nutrients, whatever your baby needs, she'll take from you, so it's a good idea to keep supplementing.

Your baby is not ready yet and they will noy induced you unless you have complications, I have a planned csection and they can't do it before  39 weeks. Everything hurts, is impossible to sleep believe me I feel you and the last trimester is like you are so over with pregnancy...but we have to wait for.our babies to be ready and healthy that's what really matters here. Good luck..try resting a lot that will help you and dont think too much that makes anxiety worst.

They won't induce you before your due date unless your having complications. My first child they waited a week after my due date to induce me.
