41 weeks today. Monday I was STILL only a fingertip dilated 😒 however I'm getting induced in the morning.. Will the induction process be more painful than not being induced? Or is the pain about the same?
no.. 2 more weeks.. and now I'm TERRIFIED. lol @krys but I wanna meet her already!!!
You can do it @kiicarnelly have you started your induction yet @babymercado
😥😥😥😥😖😖 ugh..I'm so scared now.. I'm really not good with pain at all.. like AT ALL and now it's going to be worse.. @krys
But it could depend on your doctor as well so I would ask your doctor they will give other drugs in the mean time like Demerol it gets u high lol but not much of a pain relief when those contractions start really coming it mostly just helps to sleep between contractions @kiicarnelly
No I think you have to be at least 5 cm so u do have to endure some pain @kiicarnelly
how soon can you get the epidural?? can you get it as soon as the pitocin starts.? @krys @junebaby
well this just helped me. ill definitely go wiv the epidural as I am about 41weeks as well. good luck to us all.
Lol it sucks but I promise it's so worth it when it's over you will be fine if it gets to be to much I say go for the epidural ! Can't wait to see your lil one ! 😊
Oh wow I think I am in for a rude awakening lol @krys 8 am will be here before I know it
No @babymercado it still just depends on your body one I was in labor 10 hours the other 14
I was the same way with getting the epidural I did not want it at all im praying I don't need it this time but at those moments I had no other options I tried every other drug they can give I had to get it but I have to say once I did it was all smooth sailing I slept till It was time to push @babymercado
I'm being induced right now. At 5cm and just got the epidural. You'll be ok. Pitocin sucks though.
Ohh so since the meds bring on the contractions stronger and faster does that mean I don't have to worry about being in labor for a longggg time? @krys
The meds they give to induce the labor cause the contractions to come on stronger and faster , it's extremely painful both ways as I've had 2 natural and 2 I was induced , but with both inductions I had to have the epidural ! :(
Oh great! I have a very low pain tolerance and I'm very skeptical about getting an epidural 😫 @krys
I promise it's worth the few hours of pain , as soon as they say u can have the epidural get it , and rest until she comes once you see that precious lil human being you created , your will be so glad you did it @kiicarnelly
