Induction & GD

[jodesxx]

Just looking for some advice really. I’m booked in for induction on my due date. Baby jumped from 90th to 97th centile from 29 weeks to 33 weeks and is predicted to be 9lb10 at 40 weeks. It’s IVF pregnancy, I’ve had quite a lot of abdominal surgery so there’s concerns if I needed c-section due to scar tissue. Everyone who I speak to with the baby measuring simile and I see posts seem to be induced earlier than 40 weeks. I’m just a bit concerned they are leaving it too late!

I’m 35 weeks today and baby is head down and in pelvis so I’m really hoping that he comes early! Also getting a lot of back/hip pain. Are these signs he may come early?

Had GD both pregnancies, first I was induced at 38 weeks because I’m only 5”2 and he was measuring 97th centile, ended up long drawn out process with emergency section because I don’t think he was ready ultimately…

I tried all sorts to get him moving by himself beforehand but wasn’t having any of it!

Assuming you’ll have at least another 1 or 2 scans I’d say they’ll probably keep an eye and bring it forward if necessary but if still on the chart leaving it to due date is probably best :)

Are you on the GD FB Group? There’ll be loads of experience / stories / people to help on there if not
