Can my doctor induce me at 39 weeks?

NOT SAFE OR WISE!!!: Your doctor could but i believe a good doctor should not! induction significantly increases risk of a difficult complicated labor that's risky for your baby, increases risk of c-section, jaundice & your baby needing admission to the neonatal intensive care. Do you really want to put your baby at risk just to minimize your discomfort? See http://pregnancy.About.Com/od/induction/a/risksinduction.Htm.
