Inducing???

So my doctor told me he will only induce me if I go over my due date. Why are other women getting induced at 39 or 38 weeks???

It just depends on the doctor and reason.. sometimes people HAVE to be induced for medical reasons other times doctors will induce you  if youre 39+.. mine wont unless im 41 weeks or more

Every doctor is different.  Some induce anytime after 39 weeks. Mine is because of back labor at 39+1
