Should I induce?
I am wondering what people think about this. My son was born via c section on 6/1/2024. I believe he was OP but I stalled out at 7cm from 9pm to 1pm the next day. Baby did descend from -1 to 0 during that time.
My doctor thinks him being 8lb 10oz and having a larger head as well as being OP is likely why I stalled so she has been thinking that preventing this baby from being super big would be a better chance.
She recommended induction this weekend at 39 weeks with foley bulb and low dose pitocin if needed (she said they don’t go above 20). She is not pressuring me at all and said it is my decision and I can wait if I want, but her thought is that my VBAC success may be higher if I give birth to a smaller baby.
What do people think of this? She’s also on call this weekend which would be nice to know she’d be who I’d be with.
Again, she’s not pressuring and said it’s ultimately my decision, but this is just her thoughts.
FYI I am 1CM, but starting to efface and am more effaced than last week which was 20%. Baby was -3 last week and is still a little high.
