do u have to get the pitocin when being induced?

I believe so well at leat that what they did when i got induced

yes or if they tryna speed up your contractions

OK first time getting induced @lillysmommy

OK thanks @motherofthree1791

nope! I refused it in both of labors. However I was not induced with either. I just had my water broken because my labors stalled. Once my water broke I demanded an iv free birth (some hospitals require you have the line at least started just in case) and the opportunity to walk around, use my ball, and do some yoga. my contractions intensified hour after my water broke.

okay OK I just thought doc could just break your water this my 1st time being Induced other kids I didn't @showersoverflowers

Yes its called labor augmentation if you are already in labor not an induction. I would not have them break your water if you are not already having regular contractions however! The chances of a stall and pitocin go up

oh okay I'm dilated 1to 2cm and doc say he was gone induce me tommorw morning since I already been I. and out the hospital for this pregnancy @showersoverflowers

Just ask that you not be started on any medicines after your water is broken. you'd like to give your body a chance to jump start. usually doctors are comfortable waiting 2 hours...Some may be okay with longer but the risk of infection does go up. After it breaks, go for a walk or maybe try a shower if the hospital allows that!

Yes. I highly suggest getting a epidural before your water breaks.... The contractions from pitocin are extremely painful.

okay thanks so ask them for epidural first @klove2016

Well make sure your dilated enough before getting it. Because it does slow down labor. My water broke at 3am so they had to call in the antisisologist or however you spell it, and it took them 15 minutes to get to the hospital, and then set me up.. So it felt like forever. And it was so painful lol

okay thanks alot but they gone check cervix when I get there at 5:30am tomorrow morning @klove2016
