Inducing at 37 weeks

Sent to Health Experts July 6 2006 at 6:12 PM
   

I am a healthy 24 year old and my pregnancy has had no complications. I will be 37 weeks pregnant on Saturday the 8th. My baby is breeched and my doctor has set me up for an appointment on Tuesday the 11th for a version. She is going to give me an epidural, try to turn the baby, then induce me. If she cannot turn the baby she will do a c-section. She says if she gets the baby turned we need to deliver before he turns back. So either way I'm gonna have my baby on Tuesday the 11th at 37 weeks and 3 days. Is this safe for my baby? I am very scared cause he will be early. This is my first baby and I just want to make sure he is developed enough.
