A member asked:
If im 38 weeks pregnant what if i am 40 weeks pregnant are they going to make me wait till 42 weeks is there any way i could tel them to induce me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Induction: Doctors will generally not induce before 39 weeks unless medically indicated (pre-eclampsia, etc). After that it really depends on the practitioner and whether your cervix is favorable (starting to efface and dilate). Ask your dr, but i wouldn't suggest changing docs this late just because you don't like the answer...But it may be something to ask early on next time!
