[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Foxhall. None of the OBs said anything about induction until I brought it up, and then made it very clear that it was my choice and I could go until 41 or even 42 weeks if I wanted. And my pregnancy was IVF so dates were certain. [/quote]

I recently delivered with Foxhall and WAS an induction at 39 weeks. I am AMA but it was because they thought he was going to be a chunker! :) They first mentioned it after his 32 weeks growth scan, then at the 36 week when he still measured big. If anything I was actually annoyed that they were not pushing me one way or the other. It was 100% my decision, and they even asked if I had a set birth plan or was set in vaginal vs C-section. Highly recommend Dr. Davis—one of the advantages of being induced is you can pick who is on call that day! [/quote]

How big was your baby and how long did it take for baby to come once you had the scheduled induction? I’m currently in Dr. Davis’ care and they think my baby is going to be big but Dr. Davis is pushing for either a 39 week induction or c-section even though I don’t have GD and have a history of large babies being born in my family so I’m confused with the lean towards unnecessary medical interventions...[/quote]
