Dang! That's crazy. I'm limiting cervix checks until I get the pitocin which will be given at 6am.. I'm just having contractions from the cervix thinning meds so far! They've been pretty intense but I dunno. They could be worse.. I feel like I'm gonna wait to get checked again. Then maybe get an epidural whenever my doctor suggests so I don't miss my opportunity @anmarie1

Lol I'm trying to have plans! It'll get bad & then contractions just calm down out of no where but I haven't even gotten pitocin or however you spell it. Just three doses of the cervix thinning meds @carterclaytonb

Don't wait to long for the epidural I said I was going to get it at a 6 and I went 4 to 10 in 25 mins and I was induced it takes long but worth it I was induced at 6am on a Friday and had her 1:32am on Saturday I was stuck at a 4 for the longest time but you can do it best of luck during labor and recovery congrats

Nice! Popsicles are always good. My labor came on so fast and hard it was difficult to cope. Glad you have some plans!

Thank you so much for the advice. I truly appreciate it. I really just want to pain manage for as long as I can & I'll probably your tips at some point or another! Right now popcicles have been my coping skill 😂😂 gotta formulate new plans @carterclaytonb

Cold washcloths really helped me in my labor both times. And a dark or dimly lit room. And breathing deep In Your chest through them and make low moaning noises. Really helped me.

Thank you!! @carterclaytonb yeah I'm allowed epidural whenever my pain is too much or whatever, contractions have started but I'm just trying to pain manage myself until I feel that I really need it. It's going great so far! Wish I could force myself to sleep lol

@jodymelgar, that's not what my plan is with my doctor. But thank you, I am ready for however this is going which has not been bad thus far

My natural labor hurt way worse than my induction. It is tiring but you'll do great! And you can get an epidural if you choose to with induction. Good luck mamma!!

Thanks @tara06june I literally just cannot sleep. Fml

Be ready it hurts more than regular labor if pain is too much can't get an epidural they might give u a pain reliever and maybe a shot to fall asleep

goodluck. hope you get some rest
