So I keep having this clear discharge that has the consistency of slime or snot, are they parts of my mucus plug? I go to the doctor Tuesday and they are going to check his weight and all plus a cervical check, shots, and the group b test. I'm worried about it because my doctor doesn't want me going full term because she is afraid that he will be too bug and I will have trouble. She doesn't want me to have a c-section because it would cause me more harm than good in the long run. So I am worried she might induce me. What all happens when they induce you, like how is it done? If any mommas know or have any advice, it would be greatly appreciated.
Yea so annoying. lol. I'm sure you will do great if you are induced just try to be patient and sleep if you can. lol. have you decided if you will have an epidural or not@sierranichols
oh yeah, i went to the er and stayed over night and i didnt sleep. they kept coming in to rearrange the monitors on the baby. @smiles2
yea, it's just tiring and a long process of waiting if you don't progress right away like me. lol. it's hard to get any sleep in the dang hospital while being hooked up to everything and the docs coming in to check you every 2 hrs or so. @sierranichols
I was induced with my first boy at 41 weeks. it wasn't bad but just not getting any sleep the night I went in to be induced and didn't sleep at all the next day, that's what was hard. lol. they had to give me a pill they put up in me next to my cervix to dialate me and it made me crap alittle , felt like a punch type crap, and I couldn't get comfortable. the first pull didn't do much so I had another one the next morning, they started my pitocin in an iv, and I walked alot and bounced on a ball alot. still only dialate to a 4 or 5, no contractions and they had my pitocin almost as high as they could give me. the doc came in later that day and broke my water and everything went so fast after that I was dialate to a 10 in a few hrs, contractions started a few hrs after my water broke, I pushed for 1 1/2 hrs. it was more exhausting than anything. I did have an epidural though about 4cm dialated.
ive been dilated to 2-3cm since i was 24 weeks. i wonder if she will strip them this tuesday. i was in pain all day yesterday to the point of crying. i know he needs to bake longer and if i could handle the pain id say let him. this is my first and i am so small that everything hurts. i wake up every hour at night in order to try and get comfortable.
I was induced with my first and I was in labor 8 hours and it wasn't bad I didn't even get the epidural all they do is give you medicine through an Iv
@sierranichols, they didn't for me, if your not dilated at all they might
so they just give you an iv with medicine and such, they don't strip your membranes? @briannaklaw
i was induced a few weeks ago. they just give you medicine through an iv called pitocin and it starts contractions and helps you dilate more. Usually when your induced labor is a lot longer and contractions are stronger then normal. I was in labor for 14 hours. They have to monitor you too a lot more then they typically would.
I'm having this problem. I have GD so inducing is on the list and possible c section so I've been trying to go into labor on my own. I heard induction is harder than normal
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 ...
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?
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
If baby girl doesn't come by Sunday I have to go back on Monday an set a date to be induced ... For mommies that have been induced what should I expect? Kinda nervous because I hear its more intense to be induced. Any advice would be greatly appreciated😊❤
HELP?!
Since my doc told me they'd induce me for no medical reason, & that they'd do it just because I was sick of being pregnant, it makes me worry that they'll try to induce me just because. I'm worried they'll tell me something like "she doesn't have enough room so we have to induce" or something along those lines to get me to agree to it. But I really want her to stay in there as long as possible. Any other moms experience this?? 😣😖
yeah, i dont want one but i have it on my plan that if i absolutely need one for pain ill take it and i want them to warn me about how close it is getting to where i wont be able to get it.
