re: elective induction after 39 weeks...

Quoting JessieLeeAnne:" They don't do that before inductions and they can cause complications as well. Why don't just wait? "

Quoting Douchebag McFricknugget:" My midwife said I can be induced at 39 weeks if I asked to be, but I'm not going to. Babies should come when they are ready unless there are true problems."

Quoting Casey Bannister:" Have you ever experienced gallstones or kidney stones? If not then your opinion on 'waiting' doesn't mean much."

Quoting JessieLeeAnne:" Yes, I have. Kidney stones. But, it is going to hurt anyway, baby in there or not. Suck it up, buttercup. ... [snip!] ... it up, buttercup. Would you induce if you had them at 20 weeks? Or get an abortion if you had them at 9 weeks? Just wondering. "

Quoting Casey Bannister:" Yes it's very painful!! My friend had tons of gallstones when she was pregnant and she told me they ended ... [snip!] ... induction at this point. I wanted my baby to come on her own but in the long wrong I feel this would be best for both of us "

That is the most dumb ass question i'v ever heard. And please tell me how at all that is relavant to my question. The fact of the matter is that I am 39 weeks with a healthy baby girl who is ready to face the world. You would be a dumbass to even consider inducing your baby at 20 weeks. Oh and I guarentee you havn't had kidney stones while you were pregnant. Try only having tylenol to get you through pain that has been said to be worse then actual child birth.

Quoting Mason&Chloe'sMama:" Common sense would say no. Baby isn't near ready by then and no doctors would even consider that. But ... [snip!] ... it could've been a breeze but for some people, the pain is excruciating. At least when the baby is out can do more about it."

Quoting Casey Bannister:" Couldn't have said that better!"

Quoting Mason&Chloe'sMama:" Keep me updated?   I hope the best for you and your baby!"

Quoting Casey Bannister:" "

Quoting JessieLeeAnne:" If she was ready to face the world, you would be in labor right now, stupid. There are pain medications you can take, other than Tylenol, btw. "

Quoting Casey Bannister:" Of course! Thank you "

Quoting Mason&Chloe'sMama:" Aw hey now, we don't need to start calling names!  "

Quoting JessieLeeAnne:" If she was ready to face the world, you would be in labor right now, stupid. There are pain medications you can take, other than Tylenol, btw. "
