They are inducing my daughter in law and none of this makes sense [View all]

She is 39 weeks and they are inducing because the baby was on the small side and felt he would grow faster outside the womb?????? WTF

This was a week ago, so this is a planned induction.

I asked her if she had any blood pressure issues or other issues, she said no.

Now she's at the hospital and they put something into her cervix because it is not effaced. Tomorrow they will start Pitocin.

My cervix was already doing stuff at 38 weeks and all of my kids were born a week late.

My hunch is my DIL is not 39 weeks and that is why her baby is on the small side.
