[quote=Anonymous]My Dr wants to do a gentle induction at 39 weeks because she says there's no real reason to wait until 40 weeks and there's a risk of still born after 41 weeks. I am high risk but everything has been controlled with medication so far and I have had no complications. I did not want pitocin or epidural and was trying to avoid csection unless it was an emergency. I feel like membrane sweeping is just going to lead to pitocin which will just lead to csection. I tried to express concern about not wanting to push anything until my body was ready and was told "this is what was best and recommended."

I feel like I've lost complete control over my labor and delivery and am surprised because the entire pregnancy, my ob was on board with my wishes. It's too late to get another dr at this point and I know if she is not in agreement of my birth wishes, there's no way the hospital will be. Has anyone dealt with this before? If it were emergency, I would do anything for the baby. But why suggest the early induction if nothing is wrong? Did membrane sweeping work for you? Or is this just a csection waiting to happen?[/quote]
