[quote=Anonymous]I waited until 41 weeks to induce with my first, and the induction took forever and then still didn't work, and I had her by c-section at 41w4days (at almost midnight, so almost 5 days!).  I remember at my PACE group people being so deeply sorry for me for having a c-section, but she was only 7 lbs at birth, the placenta was degrading, and there was meconium in the fluid.  When I said that a C wasn't my worst case scenario, a stillbirth was, the reaction was still a shocked gasp that I would "scaremonger" about natural births.

A lot people are really, really deeply emotionally connected to the idea of vaginal births with no interventions.  Science can't really stand a chance against emotions like those.

I hope everything goes well for you, OP.  But I do think it's misleading that you started a thread about how nuts it is that they brought up induction at all of your appointments when your most recent appointment was literally for your 39th week.  Of course they brought it up.  It's the recommendation.[/quote]
