QUESTION.
Since I now know for sure I'll be being induced sometime the week of the 16th, is there anything I should majorly be prepared for? More or less I guess my question is what exactly will happen? I know my doctor will explain it more next appointment but I'd like some input from momma's who have been induced.
lol yea I was asking for the epidural b4 they even got me into a room but I was in full labor when I got to the hospital I was already 8 cm when I got there so I had no time lol
@cassiereyna14,
I'm really hoping she comes on her own before the induction but I highly doubt it. but that's awesome it worked out for you :)
@babygirl10-11,
oh my doesn't sound any better than me haha, I held out until I was 6cm dilated before asking for the epidural. deff going to get it sooner of I'm able. and I was yelling at everyone and I don't even remember 😂
yea and my pain tolerance is horrible this last baby I did natural and my mom heard me screaming from down the hall lol
I was induced and had a very quick labor...then again I was in early labor for the whole day and I think my body just needed the little boost to get things going
@babygirl10-11,
okay guess it just depends on pain tolerance as well; my first labor was awful and was almost 20 hours. just hoping this one goes a lot smoother in all aspects.
nor did her heart rate drop ... but everyone is different it just depends on your body and baby
@dmariejj,
I always get nervous googling pregnancy related things this serious :(
I dont think the contractions are mc.f.ore intense then if labor comes on natural my first baby labor came on natural and my second baby I was induced both those labors lasted about 16 hrs and contractions felt the same
Okay well those are deffinetly some huge issues to weigh in! @addysmama04
How long was your labor?
Being induced also carries the chance of having a c-section. Don't be surprised if your baby's heart rate starts to drop. The induction drugs tend to do that. I was induced with my first and she ended up turning and was pinching her cord. I was very close to having an emergency c-section. The contractions will be more intense as well.
@countdown2klea, I was in labor for 5 hours.
