Sceduling a pregnancy

In some cases they need to. Did the doctor give you a reason? Usually they don't do it without a good reason. My friend just had a baby induced 3 weeks early, but she was having troubles. She is really small and the baby got so big it tore open an old incision on her belly(from a surgury years ago). Typically they wait until you are past your due date to induce if the pregnancy has been normal. The only thing I can think of if everything is normal, is maybe they miscalculated your due date and don't want to tell you for whatever reason. I would definatly ask a lot of questions and get a second opinion. If you feel uncomfortable with your doctors decision, go to another doctor. Get a second opinion. Remember, this person is caring for you and your baby. If you are not 100% confident in what he/she is saying, find someone else. Even if another doctor wants to do it, maybe they can give you a reason.
If you do induce don't be too worried about baby. The due date is estimated at 40 weeks pregnant. A baby is considered full term at 37 weeks. So a couple weeks early should be fine.

I have 5 children and 3 were induced 1-2 weeks a head of time but there should be a reason for that early induction is safe sometimes if dr has high patient demands he maybe scheduling just for conveinence sake absolutlely ask reason and you always have the right its your body and your baby if you feel like your being push in to it discuss this with your dr your feel alot better and you will never regret your extra moments with you little one so close good luck and have a healthy delivery

How much early does he want to take this baby? Has this pregency had any problems. If it is for his convience I would not agree. If there is a medical reason think about it. You are the one who is caring this baby. GO WITH YOUR HEART.

My daughter went through this 6 months ago. It really all depends on your doctor, your age, family history, and any problems that have occured or could possibly bring. It is normal, YOU need to speak up and ask questions that your unsure of. ONLY YOU and your doctor know your situation and no one on here can really tell you WHY, other than it is normal for doctor's to do so.
