You sound simple 
Induction just because you are 39 weeks according to their calculation?
Induction leads to a horrible labor, your contractions are harder and more frequent. You will also most likely have a c section 
I know someone who got induced 2 times and ended up with a c section 
Drs are not all nice people [/quote]

The ARRIVE Trial and other studies are why they are recommending this. Because they would rather you deliver a slightly smaller baby or have a tougher labor with a smaller baby because the benefits of delivering at 39 weeks outweigh the risk of waiting to go into labor naturally later with a bigger baby. Waiting increases risk of stillbirth, preeclampsia, hypertension, macrosomia, difficult birth, and perineal injury. It’s all about weighing benefits and risks. A c section is not the worst outcome you can have, a dead or permanently injured mother or baby is. Remember that, Mother Nature is not kind, old cemeteries are full of women and babies who died during childbirth. [/quote]
I do not agree with threatening a pregnant woman with horror stories 
Women are fine going over 39 weeks 
Every person is different and you are being childish [/quote]

Horror stories are some people’s reality. We do ourselves a disservice when we refuse to acknowledge reality. We all drive, yet we all know driving is inherently dangerous. We take precautions, and we know that while we are usually safe, sometimes there are accidents, and sometimes people die in horrific ways in the accidents or are permanently injured. Try looking at birth that way. Would you tell your driver’s Ed teacher they were being “childish” if they educated you about the risks of driving? Would you tell them they were threatening you with horror stories when they told
You about the risks and benefits of different choices, and how you can minimize the risk of certain outcomes by taking certain preventive steps? No, I didn’t think so. You would not get angry at someone telling you, that driving on snow and ice is more dangerous than in other conditions,
And that using snow tires or driving a 4WD car and driving slowly are strategies to minimize the risk. Yet some
Women like you howl when doctors want to share scientific, factual information with you about the risks and benefits of birth. It’s almost like you believe that knowing this information is harmful or threatens your commitment or will impact your outcome, which is nonsensical. Knowledge is freedom, and it is empowering. Be ignorant at your own peril. [/quote]
