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?

I have also heard that if you go to far over you may be subject to still birth as well so im pretty sure i would prefer to be induced vs that possibility!!!  Congrats on baby!!!

Because she wants her baby out and "ya'll" are putting her down for it. Just let her be happy that she's getting induced and seeing her baby soon.if she's willing to get induced and take the risk of c-section then so be it.

Due dates are just an estimate... So you might say your 39 weeks doesn't mean the baby is... 42 weeks is actually not overdue anything past that is overdue. Naturally letting the baby come means they're 100% ready induction just means they are ready enough. Don't understand why your y'alling everyone

Congrats girly! I hope you and baby have an easy labor and delivery. I'm only 38 weeks and I just want my little boy out! I'm gonna be talking to my doctor tomorrow on what we can do once I hit 40 weeks.

Okay, I understand you going with what your doctor says, just remember that your due date can be off. Induction when your body isn't ready can lead to a higher risk of needing a c-section. I hope you and baby have a safe and easy labor.
