[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve had four close friends and family members lose their babies after 39 weeks, with previously completely healthy uncomplicated pregnancies. When my doctor said I could choose to be induced at 39 weeks I said yes without hesitation. I was induced with all 3 of my babies and delivered vaginally with great experiences. A bonus for my last two was not needing to worry about a mad rush to arrange childcare. Like the previous poster said, being induced made it a very relaxed and pleasant time for my husband and I to process together how our lives were about to change. [/quote]

OP here. Woah... that is really intense. Now I am freaking out that I am not going in until I am 39 weeks and 4 days... [/quote]

I’m the PP that had a stillbirth between 40-41 weeks with a seemingly perfectly healthy pregnancy until then (I was 34).  I said it earlier but I just want to repeat that this is really really rare (and I’ve spent a lot of time with the numbers). That said, rare isn’t never and so you might ask your doctor if they’d do extra monitoring if you went past 39 weeks and what they’d do to see how comfortable you are with the risk. It is your body and your baby and your decision. Which, as with many choices in parenting, can be pretty overwhelming.[/quote]

omg - i am gettng induced at 40 weeks 2 days. Today I am 39 weeks and 5 days.[/quote]
