Just left the doctor! Being induced on Tuesday..I know I still have time for her to come on her own but anyone have any induction labor stories they are willing to share to ease my mind?!?
Even though it all went okay, I'm planning on waiting until he comes naturally this time around :)
I was 41+1 and went in to be induced. I was given 3 doses of cervidil? (A pill inserted in your cervix to help ripen it). After the three doses I went on my own! No pitocin needed :) 5 hours of active labor and 20 minutes of pushing and he was here! All natural! And I was completely closed and not at all effaced when we started.
I broke some rules. I did castor oil at my own risk with my second son, I wouldn't recommend it. The next day, I did pressure points, had sex, bounced around on an exercise ball and pleaded for him to come out. I took a nice, relaxing shower after my ex husband and I had sex and my contractions started. He continued rubbing my pressure points and next thing I knew I was hunched over on my exercise ball, crying and talking to my nurse. By talking I mean her continuously asking me if I was there because I couldn't actually "talk". Went to the hospital and 14 hours later and only 6 minutes of pushing (3pushes to be exact) I had a baby
