[quote=Anonymous]Thank you everyone for your answers, they are all very helpful and I have a detailed list of questions to present to my OB. To clarify, I do have an entire team of MFMs that I have seen since week 12 as well as specialist to make sure conception and myself were as safe as possible for pregnancy. The birth plan with my Dr the entire time has been to watch for preeclampsia and fetal risk. As of my last appointment with MFM, I was told everything was progressing perfectly and I would be fine to go full term as long as my blood pressure and protein levels remained what they are. We had several plans/date milestones in place if preeclampsia developed for early delivery. I have an appointment with them next week for another growth scan and will definitely get their opinion on the 39 week induction. I think the alarm bells I have are because my OB did not bring up anything about the risk being greater for hypertension after 39 weeks or any genuine reasoning at all except to say "39 weeks is full term and the baby just gains weight the last week." In fact, you all posting those great links are the first time I have even heard about the risk of continuing past 39 weeks so i greatly appreciate all the responses. I feel if something was wrong, absolutely, do whatever needs to be done but just to induce because the baby gains weight the last week makes me extremely nervous. I have so much to figure out, you guys have been amazing with your help. Thank you so much again.[/quote]
