I am currently almost 39 weeks pregnant and I would never choose to be induced even if I was 2 weeks late. I would not choose Pitocin, stripping my membranes, or breaking my water prematurely. I was induced with Pitocin with my first baby because I had no education. Labor that is induced with Pitocin is more painful than if you let nature take it's course... I learned that the hard way. I would try to induce by natural methods including nipple stimulation, walking, herbs, and/or sex.

i am currently 38 weeks along and i have been going to a doc that specializes in high risk pregnancy (which i am not). my baby has consistantly been measuring a week small (since my 5th month) and they refuse to change the due date and has also been consistantly growing. her heart rate and movement are both great and there havn't been any medical problems with either of us so far. at my doc appt last week she said she doesn't want me to carry past 39 weeks because of the baby's size, but this doesn't make any sense to me. in my mind if she is a week small then she should stay in a week longer. if anyone has any advice please help!
