Visit to the doctor

If your 38 wks pregnant, I would say ask to be induced....They say 2 wks before and 2 wks after the original due date is considered on time. If they sent you home, the baby must be fine and you must be ok, otherwise they would have kept you there and either induced you then or would have run more test....The only thing I would be concerned about is you BP....You don't want that to high as it could be dangerous for you and your baby. Inducing labor sometimes means that you have a longer and can be more painful labor, but you could always choose the epidural and then that wouldn't matter. I didn't ever have a chance to get any pain meds with my son, as I barely made it to the hospital and he was ready to come out..... Well whatever you choose to do, good luck to you!! Shihtzumama

I was induced my first pregnancy, and had what they called cramps, that i thought where contractions.. lol they hurt, then i needed to have a c section anyways so i di dn't get through all of labour. . I think its up to you. . if your going to have an epi anways, you dont have to worry about how much its going to hurt ;)

I haven't been to the Doctor lately but I do believe something could be wrong, because I kept taking a second breath and that just start happening within the last Month, I know I am going to get it checked out!

I just got done talking to my girl-friend in Ca. She saids that she has a new doctor and he is very through. He wanted to run all kinds of test of her. I hope everything goes will for her, She told me to pray for her. after the doctor did the tst she heard from him right away, I hope everything is allright with her!

I feel for you. I was induced when I was pregnant with my second son. It does hurt a lot. If you can I would suggest that you try and wait a little longer. Given that you are within the 6 week window, the baby would be all right if born a little early. Now if you would like to have the baby but don't want to necessarily be induced, there are ways.:) One in fact that your husband will probably enjoy. Please excuse this but, here you go... make love..... walk as much as you can possibly walk... and make more love. Oh and make sure you throw some warm baths in there too. If you choose to do this, talk to your husband to make sure he is all right with helping you have your child a little earlier. My sons were all born with in the 6 week window prior to their due date. My oldest was actually 4 weeks away from his due date, middle almost 6 weeks and youngest 5 weeks. All are very healthy and happy teenagers now. 16, 14, 12. They do say it is best to keep the little guys and gals in as long as possible, they tend to be a lot healthier at birth and their weight is at a good weight that the doctors prefer. So, if you don't mind a little vacation, I say enjoy it while you can, but if you are like me and can't sit still, then I say go for it and have your baby. But, try and induce naturally rather than from all the chemicals they can give you at the hospital, you and the baby will be better off. Good luck! **** The method listed above doesn't work for everyone....

I feel for you there. my son was a station3 for a month! i was on bedrest and couldnt do anything. When i did do something i ended up in the er. I just could wait to be a mom either but at what price. i had a c section a week before he was due and it has been the best 7 months of my life. good luck
