[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The risk you take in an early induction is that the baby is smaller than they’re measuring. A friend took the 39 week induction being told her baby was measuring “about 7lbs”. Baby wasn’t even 6lbs, and had horrible feeding issues. Ask your pediatrician if they have views about whether it’s better for a newborn to be 5lbs or 7. This may not be your situation but ask your OB how confident they are in the measurements. Bear in mind if anything goes wrong— like a small baby or a NICU stay— your OB will still have had a “successful” birth and that your induction will have been “elective.”[/quote] Age 38 induced at 39 weeks - with GW. Baby was 9 pounds- he was measuring smaller so everyone was surprised. Easy vaginal delivery with epidural, no tearing, and thriving 6 year old. [/quote]
