[quote=Anonymous]I had an induction at 39 weeks at 34 (almost 35) years old so my toddler didn’t wake up one morning to grandparents at home and mom and dad AWOL - so purely for convenience not health reasons/COVID has made me want to control the very few things that it feels like I can. I had all the same concerns as you after scheduling and was stressed about it failing and then ending up with a c-section that I basically caused because I’m a control freak. I will say I was stressed about this during the induction and early labor as well but in the end, everything went fine - cervadil and pitocin didn’t do much but after they broke my water it was a hot second before I delivered vaginally. Talk to your OB about your concerns. It may not be worth inducing at 39 weeks if it’s going to make you super anxious and there’s no medical reason to do it, but maybe spend some time to figure out why you want to induce and whether your fears are ultimately ones you think are anxiety-based versus reality-based.
