Why are people trying to induce labour?

I assume it's cause people have complications maybe or other medical issues 🤔

In most cases, it's not the mumma who wants the induction. It's fear based and outdated information given to mums. Theres always a place for inductions, but the statistics on the rate of inductions are through the roof, and you have to ask yourself why. So many midwives/birth advocates speaking out about this very issue. Xx

Do you mean when a person doesn’t have medical complications and and is generally healthy but they just trying to “make the labour start early”? I guess because they are inpatient, tired of being pregnant idk🤷‍♀️

A few of us due at the beginning of November are now full term, or very close to being, they also could just be asking for future reference, that’s what I assumed anyway x

I'd guess some people don't have all the information on induction stats and why it's best (if safe) to let your body do what it's made for..

some women get very depressed and uncomfortable and in pain by the end and this is not enough for doctors to intervene, so they will try to do it themselves, i have spd and 3 other kids and i am in soooo much pain, so i can 100% see why people do it

Everyone handles pregnancy differently im on my 4th baby and will have 2 under 2, 4th c section, I’m having him at 38 weeks anyways via section due to my gd but I really don’t blame women for trying to prepare there body to go into labour. I think we all know the baby only
Comes when they are ready some people try everything and nothing works. Buts it’s fun to try things out and they have the hope it could probably work, everyone’s different and no one can judge 😊😊😊 x

There are so many old wives tales about inducing labor and I think people buy into the bullshit. It’s quite commercialized now as well. Unfortunately what people don’t realize is that the baby will come when it’s ready! Not because you’ve eaten some pineapple, or drank some tea or had sex. If the baby does happen to come after those things… it’s a coincidence. The last few weeks are super uncomfortable (I’m 40 weeks tomorrow, I wish this baby would arrive!) but for first time mums especially I think it just feels like it goes on forever. Maximum two weeks I’ll be meeting my baby and suddenly this bit will be a distant and forgotten memory 🥰
