[quote=Anonymous]Second baby, will be 37 at delivery. I’m with Reiter Johnson Hill and they mentioned due to AMA I can opt for induction after 39 weeks. I’m tempted because I have a toddler at home and predictability would be nice for lining up childcare, work logistics etc. However doing some research on inductions and seems like the protocol has moved toward earlier inductions. Both on this forum and elsewhere online, 10-15 years ago inductions were mostly offered after 41 weeks, but now there are more mentions of inductions at 39 weeks. I had a very smooth and quick labor with my first a couple of years ago, 5 days before his due date, and so far this pregnancy has been smooth. So I’m wondering why they are offering the induction as early as 39 weeks. I do plan to ask more in detail as I get closer but so far the answer seems to be “AMA.” What are your experiences with this if you are over 35? Is there some variation depending on which practice you go to ? [/quote]
