Induce at week 39?

Hi fellow mommies, I am a sub patient at KKH currently week 37+2, and will be going for weekly checkups starting from this Tuesday. Doctor has asked me to consider about inducing at week 39 on my check up two weeks ago. Is this common? Even though everything is all good in my pregnancy? Personally I do not mind inducing earlier at week 39. But am wondering, what are the pros and cons if any. I will like to go for a natural birth too. Will inducing increase or decrease chances of a natural birth?

I would wait if all is good. Do note that the cons with inducing is that if you did not manage to induce within three pills (18hours), you will have to E-Csect. I was induced as baby’s fluid is low, luckily I managed to dilate with 1 pill.

I’m currently getting induced. I don’t like this at all. Wish I waited abit longer. I suggest you wait.
