38 week appointment was today and my doctor asked if I wanted to be induced!!!!! After I said "hell yeah!" He checked to see how dilated I was and I was still completely closed. He said that I have to be at least be "ripe" in order to set an induction date!😒 Long story short, I have to get checked again next week😟
Not everyone has a bad experience with induction. I was induced with my first it was literally amazing. Only in labor for 6 hours! 😊
@nkinsey Yes it sucks to not get your doctor, thats why I was glad to have a doula. I labored 3 days in the hospital before I had my son. Everything was perfectly fine, they panicked after my son for no reason because my daughter was still fine. They only gave me like 10min on my back to labor with her then started panicking she was breech, etc. Smdh it was the worst. I am having my next ones at home, twins or whatever idgaf, I will hire a midwife and be done with it, the Drs were incompetent for me 😒 And this was at 40w after they had been trying to induce me since 37w for NO MEDICAL REASON. Smdh Anyway, not all Drs are incompetent but just 1 who is scared of natural birth will ruin everything!
I remember how relieved my pelvis was after the birth. I was SO happy to not have the pressure...my son was RIGHT on my pelvis the whole time ir was such a relief when he was out!
@nkinsey It is possible, Drs do a lot of unnecessary stuff just so they feel more in control! I am glad your baby turned out ok...I had a csection for one of my twins mostly due to Dr impatience and wanting to interfere every 2 seconds.
Induction started Wed morning and wound up in a c section on Saturday late afternoon because my son was cord tied and his heart stopped... Longest 3 1/2 days of my life and so scary 😢 hope you have a VERY smooth and easy pregnancy!
@tahtahme everyone says that! Lol but he has been causing me pain since I was about 4 months pregnant. He sits so darn low and his movements are VIOLENT now😂
@zachattackmomma I've never had to do it. With my daughter, I went for a 3 minute walk (to get ice cream) and I was in labor that same night. I was only 34 weeks though. I'm simply over being pregnant this time! What went wrong for you?
Awe little muffin wants to cook a little longer 🍮 You will miss them soon enough! 😜
@tayler that sounds awesome! I hope I have something similar to your experience
