Has anyone been induced?! Would you if you had the option ?!

I was inducted due to preeclampsia. But, if I could have prevented it, I wouldn't have chosen to be inducted.

Stupid phone induced *

I was with my 2nd (my choice) and am with my 3rd due to pre eclamsia

if I had the option and knew what really happens I never in a million years would've done it

Unless there is a serious medical issue (like preeclampsia, or 42 weeks pregnant.) I say absolutely not! Due dates are just estimated, and can be wrong up to two weeks. PLUS, induction is 50% more likely to end up in c-section. Ouch!

My midwife told me the opposite @jennatess Weird I am not sure

@mybabyloves, i respectfully* disagree... my doctor told me that the Pitocin given during induction can cause erratic heart rhythm. That the stress from the false contractions (or, rather medically induced contractions.) can also cause the mothers heart beat to become inconsistent. Plus, there is the risk of inconsistent contractions, ending in c-sections. But, either way, I'm a firm believer that "baby will come with baby is ready.". Unless there is a medical reason to forcibly removed the baby, I don't think it's normal or fair to the baby when baby still wants to grow inside. Of course though, there are many reasons why induction in necessary.

@mybabyloves, plussss, that picture you showed only followed 37 different cases, opposed to this study that followed over 20,000 women. http://www.parenting.com/blogs/natural-parenting/taylor-newman/scheduled-inductions-raise-c-section-

I completely see what you say. It all makes sense to me. Thank you @jennatess

@mybabyloves, & thank you. 😊
