Being induced at 37 weeks
Has anyone been induced this early with success? My amniotic fluid keeps getting lower (was a 5 today). I have to go back tomorrow morning to recheck it but my doctor wants to induce next week at 37 weeks. I had a successful induction 2 years ago at 39 weeks but I'm so nervous!!! Right now I'm 1 cm dilated but the baby hasn't really dropped yet.

Being induced at 37 weeks
I had low fluid from 34 weeks on and went into labor at 36w6d. DS was delivered via c section (he was breech) just after midnight at 37 weeks and he was perfectly healthy! Bc I went to the hospital at 36w6d they gave me a steroid shot for his lungs to benefit him and bc he was born at 37w he didn't have to do any preemie testing.

Being induced at 37 weeks
I too had low fluid starting at 33w. My doctors goal was to make it to 37 weeks. I went to the hospital at 36w5d and had my son 36w6d via c section. They tried induction but I was not even anywhere near diskfed etc. he was tiny at 4lb 15oz but otherwise healthy and needed no preemie resting or nicu time. We both left the hospital after 3 days

Thankfully I already had steroid shots in preparation for this baby coming early since my fluid has been low for almost a month. Thanks for sharing really hope everything goes smoothly!!!

Re: Being induced at 37 weeks
Yes exactly 37 weeks, was at a routine visit and by blood pressure was high they were concerned so I was induced. She was perfectly healthy, full term is 37 weeks so not to worry. Best of Luck!

Being induced at 37 weeks
Thanks everyone! I was indeed induced at 37 weeks and my daughter was born 24 hours after it started. She is healthy but a peanut at 5lbs 15oz. So glad it's all over!

Re: Being induced at 37 weeks
I was with DD #2. She was born perfectly healthy and came home right away. Best thing for both of us since my BP was high and I had protein in my urine. Good luck
