What are the chances of going into labor before my induction?

Question

.

The doctor tentatively plans to induce me at around 39 weeks. This is my second child. The reason for the induction is the size of the baby.

(My firstborn - induced at 41 weeks - was also very large and there were complications with delivery.)

What are the chances that I will go into labor naturally on my own before the scheduled induction at 39 weeks?

Thank you.

Answer 1

well i hope for your sake it does happen sooner so you can experience a normal birth (not by c-section or induction)  i got induced with my first and i really hope 2nd time around things go differently so i have the experience there with me forever good luck in what ever way you go

and god bless. hope you have a beautiful healthy baby

Answer 2

baby will come when its ready. keep walking and having s*x they apparently help.

Answer 3

well i know that the opinions may vary but i actually took two teaspoons of castor oil and mixed it with a full cup of pepsi. I did this around noon and I went into labor around ten at night. The castor oil didnt affect my bowels but the contractions did come

Answer 4

Well with my first 2 I was induced but it was pretty much the doctor saying hey go to the hospital right now. With my third I had scheduled an elective induction. Let's see it was Wednesday March 19th. They scheduled my induction for Tuesday March 25th. My water broke on that Friday. I was 38 weeks 3 days.

Answer 5

If the baby decides its ready to come, it'll come.
