Reason for Inductions?

Hi ladies! Just a general question. I’ve been seeing a lot of mamas on here getting induced lately. And they are 3-4weeks from their original due date. What are some reasons for these inductions? Have you been taking medication during pregnancy, besides prenatals, that doctors have prescribed you? I just really want to know. I am at 36 wks 4days, so just wanted to see if I should be looking out for something here.

Mine was being a little over weight (10 pounds over) when I got pregnant with that there could be complications near the end of the pregnancy they monitor me and baby every week and now I’m being induced as he’s a week ahead in weight I’m 38 weeks tomorrow when he had his ultrasound at 36 he was already 7 pounds 6 oz! So he’s growing fast

I have also been taking all my prenatals and other medications they have prescribed just some people bodies are different and take pregnancy a different way my best friend is pregnant with twin she’s been dilated 1 cm since 15 weeks and getting a c section at 36 weeks

My induction date is September 30th (I'll be 39 weeks), but a couple reasons are 1) because I have extra fluid, so I've been measuring 40 weeks since week 31, and 2) my baby is at least 8.5 lbs as of last week, and we want me to try to be able to deliver vaginally 😅 My expectation was 40 weeks, so I wouldn't get my hopes up. The baby ended up being bigger than we thought. I have my sugar intolerance medication that my GI doctor had prescribed to me, but I've been taking that for a long time (along with OTC vitamins that I was taking pre-pregnancy).

I’m being induced in 2 weeks (38 weeks) because of my blood pressure issues throughout the pregnancy. To minimize the risk of preeclampsia/eclampsia

My induction will be at 39 weeks and a few days because of Gestational Diabetes. They won’t let me go past 40 weeks because of risk of stillbirth but since my sugars levels have been controlled with diet only they let me go up to 39 😮‍💨

I’m getting induced for no reason girl😂 My Dr. just said there’s no reason to keep him in so long because my body is progressing amazing so induction would just be really smooth for me.

I have GD so I take insulin. The medication increases chance of stillborn. Tomorrow I officially find out what my birth plan is and exactly at how many weeks I will be induced. Currently 37+1.

I have cholestasis and taking ursodiol for it I’m being induced at 37 weeks since I’m high risk now and if it’s not treated with the med he could be a stillborn

@Kamree how many weeks are you though👀👀

@Isabel I’m 39 weeks tomorrow!
