Can I hear some positive induction stories? Everything I read about online is always so negative... This is technically going to be an elective induction but I've been having high BP and very high protein in my urine so that's why I chose to do it. Everyone is bashing me with my decision and it sucks. :/
if is for HBP and protein in urine they have to induce you, theres no choice about it, its dangerous for baby and you!!!
@katietay34, I've had 3 children all natural no drugs. But my last little one needed some help. my water was leaking and my labor wasn't progressing fast enough. so I was given pitocin to speed up the process. my first 2 births were smooth sailing. never had pitocin before let me tell you once they amped me up to 12 MIL it felt like torture. I couldn't get comfortable for nothing. and contractions were back to back. Maybe 10 seconds in between. I honestly asked for the epidural which went against my whole birth plan 😕. however I did NOT get it because by the time I asked for it it was time to push. put of all 3 non medicated births. my last one was the most painful. pitocin is no joke. she definetly scared me lol. definetly would recommend the epidural with pitocin.
Nobody is ever going to go online and share their story of how great anything was. The only people worked up enough to share a story are people who had negative experiences. The people that had good experiences are at home distracted by their precious baby. Everyone is different. If it's better for your health then it's important you do what's best for you. It's going to hurt either way. There's pain medication to help manage it either way. You've got this either way.
I was induced at 41 weeks, and honestly my labor went by very quickly and smoothly, and the good part is you don't have to worry about being out in public and your water breaking lol that was a huge fear of mine. I was in active labor for like 6 hours and this is my first baby, and the contractions weren't that bad, I didn't get the epidural until I was 8 cm and he was about ready to come out, so in my opinion id prefer induction
I was induced because of High BP. it would go down so they kept me over night and broke my water and gave me the stuff that starts the induction. he was born 2 days later, He's healthy, Im healthy. And now hes about to be 4 months old. Very long labor but totally worth it.
I am so stressed right now!!!
My OB doesn’t want to take me anymore because I am too “high risk” so I got a new one they don’t want to see me either. They referred me to a group one hour way from my house. But there is only one high risk dr and he doesn’t know if he could see me.
I feel like I should not see any at this point.

So worried this is not normal for me at all my blood pressure is high it’s normally low and my heart rate is low and it’s normally high.
induction???
So they want to talk about induction at my next appointment. I'll be 40w2d. So I'm not early. What are some of your experiences with induction. How do they do it? Will it raise my chances if having to have a c-section. I don't want a c-section. If anyone can give me some info or advice. That would be great.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
When should I change to a high back booster? So my son is 5&1/2 years old and about 55lbs. He still in a 5 point harness car seat. When should I change him to the high back booster seat? I have the graco 3 in one seat.
@clari22, yeah I know. I'm just nervous.
