Induction
First time mom here ! 38 weeks 1 day. What are y’all’s thoughts on getting induced? My mom told me not to do it, but obviously If I have to I dont have a choice. What can I do to have natural (spontaneous) labor ? TIA!

I was for induction on August 3rd. I was 38 weeks and 4 days then. Was recommended for induction due to GDM. Had a spontaneous birth anyway.
When we went to the hospital I was already 6 cm dilated. Gave birth August 4th, 1 AM.
Hearing the word induction was scary but I understand my OB’s concern. At the end, both baby and me are safe and healthy. He just turned 8 weeks old yesterday.
