[quote=Anonymous]My OB said they like to induce during the 39th week because statistically, women over 35 (which I am) are less likely to need a c section. So I went ahead and scheduled an induction for the end of my 39th week and now I'm not feeling good about it. I've been reading up on induction and it seems like it can be so much more painful, can fail, etc. They said I'd be admitted to the hospital at 4pm the day before for cervical ripening and not start the actual induction until 7am the following day, and no food after admission, so that sucks. And of course, I'm getting lots of unsolicited advice from friends about how the OB is just pushing an induction because it's "better for their schedule." I'm not sure I believe that so much, but I figure there's something to be said for waiting until your body is ready on its own. I'm of course hoping that I go into labor naturally before the induction date. Anyone have any words of wisdom one way or the other? [/quote]
