[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally, I would say that's BS. However, my answer might change based on your actual risk profile. You are high risk and on medication, mayb you should ask for more specifics about why she recommends 39 weeks instead of 40?[/quote] I have a heart condition that I was born with, one of things I have dealt with my entire life is hypertension. So far (knock on wood) my readings remain close to 120/80 or below due to medication. When I asked for why the need for induction at the appointment, she said babies are considered full term at 39 weeks and everything is developed safely so she saw no reason to wait until 40 weeks. There was no mention of risk or danger to me or the baby. I am a FTM so I tend to let my Dr obviously take the lead but alarm bells are going off.[/quote]
