ANNOUNCEMENT!!!!

Okay everyone! My doctor told me that if my son isn't here by next Friday then he'll induce me next Sunday. I'm due May 1st and may be getting induced on May 3rd if he doesn't come. I'm 2cm dilated and hoping he comes before next Friday. I'm just so happy that next week will be my last week of pregnancy. Any advice on what I should do?

Don't you know that watching a documentary, reading a couple of books, and researching online makes one more knowledgeable than a doctor?

Omfg leave this girl alone! I was induced with my first son at 39 weeks and he was perfect. I know people who went overdue and ended up with c sections, I know people who had a baby at 36/37 weeks and they were fine, while others needed to stay in the NICU. EVERY BABY AND PREGNANCY IS DIFFERENT! Congrats mama! I'm tired of people making it seem like your destined to end up with a c section for getting induced when you NEVER know what's going to happen during labor and all you people saying she should wait till 42 weeks could end up with c sections(God forbid) for any # of reasons. Let her be happy!!! This is supposed to be a page for support and her DOCTORRRR is ok with it. Since when do any of us know her and know labor better just Bc we've had kids and done some research on Google??? Ridiculous

I get them just giving you a heads up that induction can cause complications but no need to be so nasty and pushy. And the sad part is that I would actually advice against getting induced but the way they went about it was wrong. Now inducing labor naturally go for it but medically induced omg don't do it! I've had it both ways (natural and induced) and I wouldn't wish that pain and stress on anyone it's crazy!! I plan to help my baby girl into the world with things like sex and walking just to make labor faster and easier but if it doesn't work I'm going to wait as long as possible before inducing it's awful lol.

Well just a thought but yes do dates can be off but it could go the other way too. She could be 2 weeks further along then they think too. What's important is the baby's development as long as he's "full term" aka fully developed it can bbe just as dangerous to stay pregnant. Speaking from experience of a doctor that wouldn't induce or do a growth scan and refused to believe I knew the exact day I got pregnant my son was 3 weeks over do had no placenta left and had multiple surgeries to drain fluid off him from starvation, I say if they did a growth scan and baby is good then do what you do!!

@ftm110 baby I can do what I want. Y'all y'all y'all y'all y'all! I can say y'all all I want. Worry about your baby. My baby is fine. Perfect size and everything. I was asking everybody if I should walk more or something so bye. And like I said if he doesn't come on his own by Friday then I'm getting induced Sunday. Don't come to me with the C-section bs because just because you get induced does not mean that you need a C-section. Keep that negativity to your self. Unless my doctor says I need a c-section then I don't. Worry about you and yours because my son is good PERIOD! I don't actually need your negative opinion or anybody else's. I just asked for advice so he could come on his own. You can definitely move around off of my post though. Congrats on the baby or whatever but you do too much. Bye bye now!
