So has anyone been induced? I had my 1st naturally.. water broke on its own and such. I saw my doc yesterday and she said in 10 days if I don't have her she will induce me due to gallbladder issues and such.. I'm a little nervous.. what happens?! It doesn't affect the baby right?! Does it hurt more?! Do you stay in the hosp longer?!
doesn't hurt I was on pitocin. my water never broke so they used a long super thin rod to break it it just kinda felt awkward. baby boy was fine
@bekka1071, so what do they do? increase the pitocin? have you dilated anymore since midnight?
@2mommy, im being induced right now. bwen on pitocin since midnight, and my nurse keeps askinb me if I feel my contractions and I really dont. im dilated at a four as of now.
Oh wow. they'd keep you in the hosp for those 3-5 days to monitor and give the meds?? I'm dilated to a 3 and 80% effaced.
Not a longer stay in the hospital, but it can take up to 3-5 days to have baby. Depending on the things they have to do to get you progressing. I started with cervadil, which has to be in for 12 hours and then pitocin. I ended up in a c section because my babies were showing distress during contractions. However, it wasn't because of the induction, the small contractions were hurting them so we decided it wasn't worth it. They just couldn't handle labor.
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her ...
I am 28 weeks and my son is already 3 pounds. I am inducing myself at 37 weeks.
Please help!
My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
It's my turn ladies!
Finally, after nearly FORTY-TWO weeks... I decided to get induced. Baby Violet scared me with some decreased fetal movement and I couldn't wait any longer.

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
@2mommy, yes. every one and ahalf hours they give me more of a drip. I was at a three around 4 pm yesterday and then at two this morning I was at a four and they havent checked me again yet. when they check me next I can tell you if you want...
