Induced at 39 weeks

Any mummies have gone through induced labour at 39 weeks? I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and I have an appointment with my gynae tomorrow morning. I thought of asking for induction because I am feeling pain in every part of my body, especially my pelvic area whenever I walk or do housework. And I have painful cramps too. Really need some advice and thoughts here. Thank you.

Hi! I was at exactly 37 weeks when i got checked by my OB. By then, I was already at 3cm. She asked me to go visit her after 3 days when I was supposed to visit her weekly to get checked since i started to dilate already. I came back after three days and got IE again where we found out i was at 4cm and yet tbere still is no sign of labour. She asked if i wanna be admitted i said no not yet i dont feel anything. Again, she asked me to come back 3 days after - 2 days interval for both follow up check ups she asked me if in case i undergo labour i head to the hospital. I came back again after three days and i am already at 5cm still not feeling any labour pains so my OB decided to admit me that day. She induced me. She also was the one who popped my water bag with her fingers! (Her skills are amazing). Going back! I got admitted at night and i still feel no labour pains so they decided to give me vials of meds that’ll help me go into labour. The pain started but it isnt much. Parang ung mga monthly dysmenorrhea lang natin. I laboured na after i got administered with stronger meds. The labour took 1 hour then i got sent to the delivery room where i delivered for 27 minutes! I can say, in my experience, being induced isn’t that painful but the recovery from the stitches will give you pain worse that giving birth. Maybe because my body went all through that shock all too fast and it’s my first born! Idk if it’s just me but i am thankful na rin na i did not feel the pain most mommy’s are telling me. That’s it just sharing my experience. Hope it helps.
