A member asked:
37wks +4days preg. baby is so low but not at all dilated. dr wanted to help start it but head was too low. baby is 6lbs 12ounces. is induction likely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Why induction? : Did your doctor mention induction of labor? Normally inductions are reserved for medical complications of pregnancy in which the baby needs to be delivered. Some offer elective inductions of labor but not until after 39 weeks and usually only when the cervix is dilated.
