@candacejade, @shonce I always try to share my story because there are so many terrible labor story's out there, induced or not epidural or not and I like letting people know it doesn't have to be terrible and there is a good chance it will be enjoyable ❤️ good luck to you both with everything you are soooo close!

@candacejade, yes I think at this point baby is just gonna come when ready or whenever induction is. I don't think any of it really works if baby isn't ready unfortunately. 1cm dilated and 80% effaced so I'm keeping hope alive at this point!! @babybowers your story just gave me some relief. You always hear all of these terrible stories so it's awesome to hear a good one

@shonce, Oh yes I have tried that numerous of times and I honestly think between that and sex it has helped me thin out bc I've been completely thinned for about 2 weeks now I just can't get dilated. I used the loose product not the bags though. @babybowers , thank you so much that made me feel so much better bc I've been thinned out but not dilated so that's why I've been so nervous. @mommyofavaka , good luck at your appt I hope you get better news than I have been getting!

i feel the same!Today is my due date and I'm hoping she'll come coz i dont want to be induce.. I go to L&D today for an appointment so hoping for good news

I will tell you my great induction story! It was seriously the best labor and delivery and I would do it again in a heartbeat ❤️ I needed to be induced at 38 weeks for medical reasons so I went in Friday night at 7pm, I was not dialated or thinned out at all so I was expecting a long horrible process. They put the cervidil (to soften the cervix) in at 8pm and left it for 12 hrs (standard) it made me crampy but not terrible. At 8am I was thin but not dialated. At 9am we started pitocin. By 12 I was at 2cm and decided to get the epidural (I wasn't in a lot of pain but knew I wanted one before the pain started) 2pm I was at 4cm. 4pm I was 6cm. They checked me again at 6:30pm and I was at 10 and ready to push. By 7:10pm she was here! It was easy, painless and progressed great! I'm so absolutely thankful for how amazing it was ❤️ I also think getting the epidural helped me progress because I wasn't fighting the contractions.

@candacejade, I know it seems like FOREVER!! Have you tried the red raspberry leaf tea?? I'm thinking about trying some today

Yeah true! I just don't think I've heard of any good ones yet. but I still have till Thursday before hell be here and that still seems like it's to far away! lol @shonce

@candacejade, I feel you because that's all it's done for me as well. Boys are simply just stubborn that's all there is to it lol. I've heard some good induction stories so I'm trying to keep those in my head as I go in and know that soon after he will be here 😍.

I've tried everything in the book to try and go into labor and all its done is make me have contractions or period like cramps that aren't good enough to cause any progress. @shonce

@candacejade, exactly how I'm feeling I go Monday to see when I'm being induced 😔
