@1.2andexpecting, my induction wasn't bad. from start to finish was only 19hours and I slept through a good portion of it. however my baby boy was really far down in my hips already my cervix was very easy to reach, so it made my labor and delivery move a lot faster. I got the epidural and that actually helped me dialate because it slowed the contractions and made them more efficient.. and I only pushed for 30 min. I got good pushing tips though (push like your trying to poop.) it really does work it's right where you want to be usually
My mom laughs at me with the things we nowadays can't eat while pregnant but with like deli meat I have eaten it just heated it up and had deli sandwiches that way
nipple stimulation works really well too stimulate one nipple for 5 min every hour and rotate nappies. just make sure to stimulate not just the nipped but the whole dark area.. if you have a SO have them suckle on it for the 5 min each time
