@Suwilanji ahh good luck! Hope it goes smoothly for you 🙏

How do you get an induction? I feel like I don’t wanna wait the full 40 😭

@Jody if it's medically needed, I have a medical condition going on, so I need to be induced early or if you go pass your due date. It's not something you can just ask for.

ohhh okay gotchu, I hope for a safe delivery for u

@Jody thank you!

Aaaaah you're so lucky, i hope your induction goes well and you have a smooth delivery💙. I wanna meet my baby already. My doctor actually told me to pick a date anytime before 40 weeks and after 37 weeks for induction, for no medical reason. He just always says "nothing good happens after 40 weeks". I had the same OB last year and i was furious when he said that. I didnt show up to two inductions that he had scheduled me for (one at 38 and one at 39). Waited till 40. No signs of labor. So gave in to induction at 40+5. My baby had pooped in his water and my dr was lik "I TOLD YOU SO" 🤣🤣🤣

I’m excited for you! I hope that everything goes well! Take this next week and a half to nest nest nest and if you’re still working, getting your maternity leave stuff ready! You got this!

Congrats!!! I love being induced so I don't have to guess when baby is coming

that's funny! If I was given that option I would have shown up at 37+1 ready to go 😂

I’ll try

that's me this time around. I'm like LETS DOOOO THIS 😂

@Aina🇵🇸🍉 I've personally always known it to be medically necessarily or after the 40wks! Non the less least your baby was okay and that's all that matters!

@Samantha thank you so much 🥹 it's definitely crunch time! Lol

@Brittany Staley it does make it easier, but I've always been induced so I wanted to experience something different but it gives me time to plan stuff for my other kiddos lol

@Maly I just found out I have ICP 😭

thank you so much!
