Lol I'm pretty sure most of us where in a lot of pain around that time I sure was and I never even thought of induction. And when I was finally induced at 40.5wks I regretted it the contractions were hell and Ididnt progress for over 12hrs even though my contractions were 2 minutes apart and was put on oxygen being induced its not a walk in the park. It is selfish for her to want to be induced over that she got pregnant this was expected she can hold on 2 more weeks.

Yes it is. She could really be 36 weeks, not 38 or how ever far she is. The baby needs as much time in the womb as possible.
I bet you if she was induced and that baby ended up in the NICU sheet be kicking herself in the ass for being induced. It's so selfish.

Quoting abby5:" iam 38 weeks preg, i have ob appoionment this week can i ask if she can induce me or will she refuse, i cant take this pain much more"

haha the pain of an induction is MUCH worse. So have fun with that.

It is very selfish. You're carrying a human being in your body, how did you think it was going to feel? Inducing because "you're in so much pain" is retarded. Pregnancy isn't going to last forever. I bet she will feel like smurf if her child is sitting in the NICU because she couldn't take the "pain" anymore.

Isn't that her decision to make? I'm sure she's smart enough to weigh the risks and benefits.

People need to realize that even if they think she's being selfish, she's still just contemplating it, and just thinking about asking her doctor about her possibilities. Yes there is a risk that the baby's due date could be off and LO could be a few weeks away from arriving... but her pain is considerable and I know that feeling (most of us do) so even though it's not the decision we would have made... maybe be a little supportive and let her know (without attacking or judging) why she should wait it out....

Well she's obviously not using her noggin.

Of course, but it's still selfish. It's also up to the doctor.

I am in the same boat as you. In tons of pain, I can barely eat anything, the only reason I have ate for these last 2 days is because I know the baby needs it. Other wise I probably wouldn't have ate as much. Because like most people if I don't feel good I can't eat. Every time I walk it feels like my hips are being dislocated, and if I sit down it feels like my lungs are going to collapse. This is my second technical full term pregnancy. You are not selfish for wanting to ask. The most your doctor can do is say yes or no. This does not make you a bad person. I have a friend that was an idiot and smoked through her pregnancy and had her kid a month early but other than jaundice he was healthy as can be, the doctors told her she was lucky to have even had him at that time because is she would have waited until her due date, the kid would have been over 12 lbs. I am due to get induced Nov. 30th and I will be 39 weeks and 1 day. I just told my doctor "I am ready, and tired of the pain and making trips to the hospital for false alarms" and then she said ok and scheduled the induction. my doctor will strip the membranes at 38 weeks or induce at 39. but that is it. she wont induce at 38 or any time earlier. My doctor has been doing this for at least 18 years if not longer, I trust her. and I know of people having children at 40 weeks and them still having to be in the nicu. so don't let them scare you. it is your's and your doctor's choice to induce you or not. yeah it would be better for the baby to "bake" more but it also isn't good for you to stress out over pain and smurf. that will cause stress on the baby as well. If you want you can message me and I will talk to you. Like a few of the other ladies said, you are going to get jumped on and called selfish for wanting to be induced. They aren't in your shoes, they have no reason to judge you.

Whatever happened to the "not my uterus, not my business" mentality of BG?

right?! I always hate how so many moms on here are just so rude and unsupportive... we go here for support and help, not to feel like incompetent mothers...

Quoting Tiger Lily ♥:" Isn't that her decision to make? I'm sure she's smart enough to weigh the risks and benefits."

Obviously not. If she was, she wouldn't be asking this question.  

I think its hilarious when women say they want to be induced because they can't handle the pain of PREGNANCY. Well what do you think its going to feel like to give birth? Especially when you're forcing your body to do something its not ready for. But hey, no everyone is educated on this subject or has any logic skills so I understand.
