Induction??

Are there reasons why they want to induce you early?
It’s possible to go into labor naturally by that point in time as well.

they say my baby is on the heavier side and that’s why they want to induce. And that there’s no reason to keep her in the womb as it will no longer be beneficial. But they don’t 100% know her weight either. And I’m assuming because I was heavier than people would like when I first got pregnant but they didn’t outright say that…

I would wait until you get closer to that point if you can, to see how big she actually is and if it really calls for induction. This is just a personal opinion but if I’m told I need to be induced I’m asking for a c-section. Induction doesn’t sound appealing but I haven’t done either so just going by what people have told me.

I got induced with my first and it was over in like 8hrs from when they induced me to the time she came out honestly it went pretty smooth for me, but everyone’s different

Wait and see but knowing the suggestion may be coming gives you time to learn more about it. I did end up getting induced with my son as a precaution based around blood pressure spikes but I said not before my due date. It went super well and I found it fairly relaxing all things considered.

ultrasounds can be off by up to two pounds so I’d push for not being induced…additionally if your cycles were at all irregular, you can push for a later induction date because you can then argue that you may have ovulated late that cycle

They are talking about inducing me as well if my baby doesn’t catch up in size but they induced me before with my first baby she came out healthy it was just a long labor 32 hours if you move around and use the peanut ball yours may come quicker i laid down the whole time

ACOG (the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists) does not recommend induction because of suspected fetal macrosomia (big baby).
I'd remind them of that if it comes up again.

if you are induced the chances of you having a natural birth are almost none. i would say let it be natural.

They told me that too because my first was 9lbs. I said nope thank you.
With my first they thought the whole time that she will be SMALL. Yet she turned out to be 9 lbs!
So I really don’t trust their weight measurement. Baby will come when he’s ready 🥰
