pitocin vs misoprostol for induction?

Birthing at home is not an option. I am now overdue and induction is scheduled for monday morning if he does not come on his own.

I have allowed a membrane sweep today to try to avoid induction all together. I ate a whole fresh pineapple and a half. I've been doing primrose oil. I went for a long fast walk. Sex is painful as hell so that's out of the question. Anything else i can try (thats safe) to try to avoid an induction?

Ive looked up both but im still unsure if it comes down to that, what one i would choose.

Pitocin; very intense contractions, I’m not sure about the other. I had preeclampsia so I didn’t have a choice on wether or not I wanted to be induced, but if my next pregnancy is a healthy pregnancy I will refuse induction because my induction experience was not good at all.

@nerdlove1315 ive been leaking colostrum even without pumping. But yes pumping gets more colostrum out. But my body will continue to make that.

Pitocin doesn't really do anything until you're actually in labor, I would say. The cytotec will actually induce labor. Hopefully anyway. You may even opt to labor naturally after its jumpstarted as sometimes induction can slow your labor. Not much I can safely recommend but try to stay relaxed and baby will start labor when ready.

@cassibrewer doesn't it cause you to leak already?

Squats, TMI but have your spouse suck on your nipple. Why? It's stimulation and opens up cervix.
