[quote=Anonymous]OP, I also would not be comfortable inducing. I gave birth at 40 + 4 to a 6.3 lb baby who was PERFECTLY healthy. My doctor never batted an eye. Unless there are health problems or a restricted environment, I'd really put a hard line of questioning to your doctor. You know you can refuse induction, right? But if you're not comfortable refusing, ask directly, what are my statistical, relative, and ABSOLUTE risks of a problem birth if I decline induction? Are there alternatives? What makes you think induction will improve things? Have you accounted for the fact that my husband and I are small? That our family has a history of small babies? Etc. As you know, ultrasounds can be WAY off. And plenty of babies born at 6 lbs or just under are very healthy! Unless there's a real problem, I would resist the heck out of this. [/quote]
