I am 40 weeks and 2 days pregnant, but my doctor says I can't be induced. Why?

  • In the days to weeks leading up to delivery, your body is doing some prep work. Your body starts to release prostaglandins, or hormones, that act on your cervix and actually ripen it. That is the medical term we use, just like a fruit is ripe. So this means that your cervix starts to soften, it moves forward in your pelvis, and it begins to thin out. And then at some point, your brain will start to release oxytocin, which is a hormone that acts on your uterus and tells you to contract. Now these contractions, once they get intense and frequent enough, will act on cervix and it will begin to dilate. Usually this prep work, like I said, happens in the days to weeks leading up to delivery, and most first-time moms deliver between 39 1/2 and 40 1/2 weeks, but for an unfortunate few, they get to 41 weeks and they still haven't delivered. And of course, the problem is that their body hasn't done any of this prep work.
    If you get to 41 weeks, then you have to be induced, and here's the reason why: placentas have expiration dates on them, but they're just not stamped anywhere we can see them, which means that they will eventually stop feeding your baby like they should. This can lead to a deprivation in oxygen and cause problems for your baby. Studies have shown that nothing good happens after 41 weeks - there is no benefit to you still being pregnant. So we induce you and get your baby out. Of course, most moms are up for this, because they're sick and tired of being pregnant. The induction process can be long and hard in these circumstances, because we have to do what your body should have been doing in the days to weeks leading up to delivery. We just try to squish it into a day or two. So we bring you into the hospital, and we give you medications to ripen your cervix and to mimic what would naturally happen. And then after this ripening process, we give you pitocin, or it's also known as oxytocin, and this causes your uterus to contract, which makes you dilate, and puts you into labor, and helps you have your baby.
    Now you mentioned that you're 40 weeks and 2 days, and your doctor says that they can't induce you yet. And that's probably because, until you get to 41 weeks, it's not medically indicated. And we don't usually just induce first-time moms for fun, because your body is stubborn. So in most instances, we wait until it's medically indicated, which is at 41 weeks. Now if you have more specific questions about your circumstances, your OB provider will be able to give you the best information, because they know the most about you. And seeing that delivery will probably be at least in the next few days for you, I want to congratulate you ahead of time, and I hope that everything goes well for you. If you have any other questions for me in the future, feel free to ask them on our Facebook page at / intermountainmoms , and recommend us to your friends and family too.

    If a baby is full term a mother should be able to CHOOSE when they should be induced.
    i hate how they choose for u between 41 to 42 weeks as of 40 weeks isnt full term. There should be nothing wrong with inducing you at 40 weeks as if a mother isnt already miserable waiting till a due date as it is.

    These damn doctors need to listen to their patients! I told my doctor to induce me and she said I can wait. Had I not listen to myself and walked around to the emergency right after that doctor told me no, my baby would have been a still birth bc they said I was actually have contractions and my baby heart rate was going down and I had to have an emergency C-Section that same day. I was 1 week over due. I would have sued the mess out of that doctor and pressed for her license to get taken away or at least not able to practice in America any longer.

    Delivered my baby at 40 1/7 weeks via emergency cs because of the result of my ultrasound - Oligohydramnios and 4 nuchal cord coils on my baby's neck... My o.b. and I wasn't aware of this. I dont have any follow up check ups because ill just wait till my labor starts.. but i felt anxious..i so worried that i dont feel any contractions until my due date which is april 18.. save by my instincts that i visited my o.b. to check my progress and requested an ultrasound if my baby's still okay.. thank God that my instincts were true.. mother instincts that my baby is not okay. I have close cervix.. no progress.. thankful that my baby didn't die because of those cords in his neck... Super thankful to my doctors and specially to God! ❤️❤️❤️

My Dr already scheduled an appointment at the hospital for an induction. Either Friday or Saturday.

    The due date is an approximate. So that means it not an exact date. So why the request an exact 41 week to be induce?. And they will not before that?. If I'm 39 week it can easily be 40 weeks as it's not and exact date? So waiting for a 41 week to be "medical indicate" it can also easily be 42 or 40 weeks.

      I’m exactly that today and all my midwife can suggest is a membrane sweep on Wednesday. So frustrated because that can take up to 48 hours to have and that’ll take me to the weekend which will be 41 weeks. Then I’ll have to wait a few more days for an inducement appointment. In my opinion if it’s your first baby (in my case it is) I think they should induce once you’re past 40 weeks. I’m in the U.K. so this isn’t common.

      I was the same, and my Doctor ended up using pitocin on me because my labor wasn't progressing, I don't know why they wanna wait until 42 weeks to get a baby out. My baby was almost 9 pounds and she was 38 weeks. Talk to your Doctor because if you are having contractions and not dilating they should do something about.

    Meet a lady that had her baby at 45 weeks, she told me her baby was so big he ripped her all the way to her anus. Yikes! I think it depends on where you are at her child is in his 30 now. I had my second child at 42 and half weeks everything was just fine I was induced had to have my mucus plug stripped it hurt so bad I was crying, my baby girl came out within 5 hour. I really think it depends on each persons body. My opinion the placenta will produce what is needed as long as it should. I mean what where they doing before all the medical technology?

      The fear they put into pregnant, hormonal and worried mamas is disheartening. I’m having my third and although I’m considered high risk this time, I am still trying to filter through all of the opinions and information to make the best decisions for myself and my baby. If it’s not exhausting enough to be 41 weeks pregnant, having to advocate whilst uncomfortable is so hard.

      40 weeks 5 days not a hint of progression. But because my blood pressure isn't high, theres no protiens in my urine, and baby is fine they refuse to induce me until 41 weeks. In this last trimester I've been to the ER 5 times due to my other complicated medical that is made worse with the pregnancy. I havnt been put on bed rest by my doctor but I've been housebound and bedridden for TWO WEEKS now because I can't go far without blacking out or falling down... I'm eating up my maternity leave and I have no baby yet... When he's born I will only have four weeks to heal before I have to go back to work, quit, or be fired.

      Is risky and they work on a not exact date. As everything is an approximate why wait for an "exact" 41 weeks? It can easily be 42 or 40 weeks. And that is really overdue.

    I'm confused, you just said if your 41 weeks you HAVE to be induced. I know plenty of moms who delivered at 41-42 weeks naturally. And the AMA defines a healthy term baby from 37-42 weeks gestation. I feel like your misleading some women to feel like they can't advocate for themselves past 7 days due. You don''t HAVE to do anything, its your body and baby.

    • @HeyKiikii
      @HeyKiikii Před 3 lety +6

      After 40 weeks your placenta will start to decrease in functionality. It’s best to get out sooner than later at that point. Sure your body can do it… but it’s higher risk of still birth, etc. She’s not misleading as she laid out the consequences.
