How many mummies choose induce labour in week 39 to 40

Doctor asked if i wanted induce labour at 39 weeks 3 days as he said my dilation was slow. I went for it and had to be induced twice. 1st induce was bearable but 2nd induce was really painful.

I had no option but to be induce at 41 weeks for 1st pregnancy. Double the pain of contractions but have to do it as advice.

I’d choose 40 weeks. Initially, I planned to be induced at 40 weeks 3 days. Thankfully baby came out at 40 weeks 1 day.

thanks for advice. I will monitor
