AnswerHi,
I know how hard it can be and it sounds like you are having a tough road at the end of your pregnancy.
The main concern is if your baby is ready. At 36 weeks, your baby may not be ready to breath completely on their own or they may not have enough weight to keep their temperature regulated.
Babies know when they are ready. Even if mom is ready before they are!
If your baby came to early, there is a chance they would need to spend time in the hospital and you would not be able to return to work as quickly with a baby in special care.
Talk with your midwife or doctor. Life pressures often seem so overwhelming that a quick delivery sounds like the answer, but the risks aren't worth it.
I know how bad your feel! I promise I do. But they won't induce a mom unless there is a reason that the baby would be better on the outside. You are your babies BEST incubator...hang in there, your baby will be born when it's ready and you'll be able to recover sooner.
Induction sounds easy, but it's SERIOUS business full or risks for you and baby, especially if you baby isn't at term (around 40 weeks)
Talk with your doc ok?
Write back if I can help with any other questions!
