Ladies... Public service announcement/rant: I cannot stress how much you should educate yourselves on labor in a hospital. Do NOT 'just listen to what your doctor tells you'. Watch the 'Business of Being Born' it's on Netflix! Understand the risks of induction methods: cytotec, Cervidil, pitocin, artificial rupture of membranes 'breaking water'- especially if this is your first baby. My intention is not to scare you, but to ask you to make yourself AWARE! Doctors do not always do what is in your best interest and you should know the pros and cons of induction methods to do what is right for your body and baby. Your body can birth a baby without a million interventions- it's worked for millennia!

I'm mostly going off my experience as a labor and delivery nurse and see things happen all the time that are unnecessary if not unsafe.

But you also have to be careful. That documentary is extremely one sided and biased. And infant mortality rates are way down from a millennia ago. I'm not saying that natural birth isn't better but if the doctor recommends going a different route, it's not a bad thing.

Sometimes you know your body better than everyone else. Not every woman will produce high levels of hcg throughout pregnancy some it can take weeks some it can take months don’t trust a blood test don’t trust a urine test trust your heart and when you know it’s times it’s time this doctor was not a gynecologist so he did not give me a quantitative blood test to actually see what my hcg level is at I hope this helps some of you ladies who just feel like giving up and stop testing because of what everyone else thinks or what a doctor tells you trust your body you know your body better than a blood test and a pee test and god will lead you to the right path
