I would really like to avoid an induction as I have a friend IRL who just had a failed induction-turned-emergency-cesarian. but I think I'm more afraid of the baby being *huge* as a result of having been in there too long. trying to be zen about the uncertainty and enjoy these last few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-women-go-into-labor-between-39-weeks-and-40-4/page/2#post-2604940 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 16:16:41 +0000 wrkbrk 2604940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSCB: That's funny, I had never heard that statistic! I was 40+4! And the timing was right bc I had IUI. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-women-go-into-labor-between-39-weeks-and-40-4/page/2#post-2604850 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 14:17:11 +0000 MrsSCB 2604850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: I know, it's crazy! And my doctor said basically the same time frame. I think I could pretty much request any time after 40 +4. We tentatively scheduled for 41 weeks, but I'm really hoping he comes before then. If we get to 41, I don't know whether I'll end up wanting to wait a few more days or not...</p> <p>@coopsmama: I hope baby arrives ASAP for you!! :goodluck: :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/most-women-go-into-labor-between-39-weeks-and-40-4/page/2#post-2604834 Tue, 16 Aug 2016 13:48:33 +0000 Mrs. Dolphin 2604834@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was sort of induced at 37 + 2 days with my first (after a second placental abruption and learning that I was 3 cm dilated, my doctor stripped the membranes to trigger labor).

Both were spontaneous labors. </p>
