So I keep having this clear discharge that has the consistency of slime or snot, are they parts of my mucus plug? I go…

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.

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

@smiles2,

ok. so its more the uncomfortable ness than anything?

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

too big*
