so I went to the doctor today. everything is going good. told me I will be put in the hospital the 22 and hopefully have…

In my own opinion after 3 inductions, I would have rather gone natural.

@faeluna, what is so bad about being induced? if you don't mind me asking

The contractions are 3 times worse than natural contractions and I've had both. You don't really get a break with the pitocin. I went 6 hours of labor with no pain killers and pitocin and I felt like I was going to die.

@faeluna, oh wow. all they told me is they were going to use some kind of cream to help on Friday night then break my water the next morning

Cervadil probably and that helps open your cervix.

@faeluna, probably a stupid question but can you still get the pain meds/epidural with induction? this is my first pregnancy going full term

Yes you can.

@faeluna, so does being induced make the labor process longer or quicker?

Depends on your body. It makes your contractions come faster and harder

@kgreer, oh okay

@mbrooke93, it made my 1st and 3rd labor longer

@faeluna, oh lord

@mbrooke93, don't freak lol, your doctor knows what they are doing. You will have pain reliever and sleep while you can.

@faeluna, well I trust my doctor and I'm hoping I get to sleep while I can lol

@mbrooke93, perfect! I'm sure you are in good hands then lol. :)
