My baby was large and they were worried I would automatically need a csection if we waited much longer

Growth scans showed the baby dropping from 15th percentile to 3rd percentile for weight within 4 weeks, plus my placenta was already showing quite a bit of calcification. I was 38 weeks exactly when I was induced.

Big baby and no signs of labor approaching. I think I could have asked to wait longer, but she was 9lbs 5oz at 40w6d and I was ready to have her on the outside!

My water broke at 34w 3d. Baby had to come out because of risk of infection.

It was my OB's standard procedure to induce at 41 weeks.

It was my decision, however it was recommended due to high blood pressure (I was 39 weeks and 3 days.) Thank goodness I did though, I had an 8lbs 10 oz. baby...if we would have waited another 2 weeks, who knows how big she would have been!

Low fluid and little movement. She was born at 41+3 in severe distress from my induction. If I have to do it again, I'm going to press for hospital monitoring - she actually was moving, some.

My water broke at 38+5 and contractions didn't start so they were induced with pitocin.

I was induced at 39w5d after wonky BP readings, high then low then high. DD arrived two days later by c-section. She was over ten pounds and was stuck. I'm surprised they didn't induce me sooner.

40+6. My doc thought baby was big. It was also her on call day and I was happy to have her there.

Postmaturity concerns at 39w2d w/twins (equivalent to 42 weeks with a singleton). Low fluid and placental calcification were seen on the ultrasounds.

past my edd & had been in prodromal labor for 17 hours only being 2cm.... in retrospect I didn't "need" to be induced at all but that's what they told me. =/

PIH. I don't think I really needed induced though. Should've just been bed rest.

I don't want to be induced, but we have a "do not pass go" date because DH is going to be gone for military training the week after I'm due. I really, really hope I don't get there.
