Hello everyone
I’m 35 weeks currently and really suffering with pelvic pain. I was seen in triage last week as I was in so much pain and didn’t know what it was, a doctor there confirmed and prescribed pain killers. Had my routine midwife appointment yesterday and she said that basically if I keep complaining of it then they would consider inducing at 38 weeks.
I’m weighing up my options -
The pros are that if I was induced early obviously giving birth would improve my pelvic pain by taking off the pressure etc. And probably better that the baby isn’t exposed to pain killers for potentially nearly another month after 38 weeks.
Just that - that I could be waiting until I’m almost 42 weeks to be induced if baby doesn’t come naturally. I was induced at 41+5 with my first so it’s very possible that my baby will be over due (my mum has had 3 of us and all were 2 weeks late).
Cons - obviously with the covid-19 situation would it be the best thing to bring the baby out in 3 weeks? Or better to stay in? It really depends if I can take this pain for that long.
Has anyone else been induced early because of pelvic pain?
