Yes youshould know your options and be open and talk to your doctor, however this is my 3rd child and I have been induced with all previous at 39 weeks becuase of size. I am a very petite woman and the sizse of my babies would have been too big to deliver. My son for example was 7 lbs 12 oz, which is a perfect sized baby for the average women...unfortuantly he became stuck in my pelvis becuase he was too large. It took 3 hrs for him to be delivered vaginally. I have since had a induced, natural (no pain meds, using the hypnobirthing technique) labor and delivery and it was very successful. DO NOT let it discourage you from having a natural L/D because if it is something you want to do, you can. Just like it has taken 9 months to make that baby, you have to prepare and educate yourself about labor and delivery, get to know your body and you can be successful!

Babies have a way of coming in their own time, our bodies know when to start the labor process. And size should not be an indicaton that induction is needed, most women will only grow babies that they can give birth to. Induction is quickly becoming the norm in a hospital birth and is one major cause for our ridiculously high c-section rate. BE VERY CAUTIOUS of induction, do your research!!
