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?

Also my doctor told me that he is the perfect size and that he is all the way in the birth canal so I'm just waiting to dilate more so I can push him out.

You don't need to be induced til 42 weeks.   Induction can lead to csection alot times. And longer labors etc

Everybody saying 42 weeks. Okay and? That's y'all doctor. My doctor told me next Sunday. Until you become my doctor then I don't care. My doctor is not slow. 42 weeks is too over due. Don't think they let you go that over due in Chicago... Anyways thank you everyone else! And congrats to you all.

We were advised to wait until full term and that you do have the option to wait. Induction isn't natural and may lead to other complications. Let it run its course. Best of luck!

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.

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.

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

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.

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!!!

@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!

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!!
