Early induction

[Asdfghjk]

Hi ladies,
So I’m due on the 12th of October but I’m getting married on the 13th. I really don’t want to have to cancel my wedding and I really really don’t want to go into labour on the day 😂 I’ve tried to rearrange things but it’s impossible! The weddings been planned for over a year.
Would they possibly induce me early for this reason if I asked ?
Thanks for reading x

Is it your first pregnancy? I'd very much doubt they would induce purely for that reason, induction before you are ready could lead to a cascade of interventions. Is there any way you could move the wedding forward? Even if you had an induction and delivery at 39 weeks, would you really feel like getting married the next week?

Sorry, I see you can't rearrange. Hmm tricky one.

I'd highly doubt they would rearrange without a medical reason but you could always request a consultant appointment and speak to them, a consultant has to sign off an early induction (i will be having mine booked from 37 weeks due to medical problems) but I've had various appts so far with them and they have had to weigh up what's best early or not for us... im due the 16th October. Good luck and i hope you can enjoy both but seperate days! X

I very much doubt they would induce for non-medical reasons of this nature before your due date. Also even if they did induce you a few days early, there's no guarantee you will be feeling well enough to get married! If you end up having a C section you will have limited mobility, and you'll just be sore and tired. Not to mention looking after a newborn baby. I don't think it would be very enjoyable.

I think you would be better off either bringing wedding forward or postponing.

You could ask but as it is a non-medical reason they would very likely say no.

As PP have pointed out once you have a newborn you would be knackered and feel even worse if you had a C-section, so you are better of postponing your wedding for at least another 4-5 months. January and February - apart from around Valentines Day - are probably not busy months for wedding venues.
