Due date is Tuesday, no sign of baby being ready. Doctor wants to start talking about induction on Thursday. A little scared of induction, any advice?
I also had something else to help me dilate faster which it was messing with my sons heart beat so they had to stop it for awhile . Didn't make things go any faster but caused de-stress to my son.
I didn't have an infection it was just in case I would get one because I was in labor for over 39+ hours.
Oh I never had the group b strep. But I did have the penicillin to kill an infection because I was in labor for so long and I wasn't dilate fast enough. Plus after they puked a hole to induce me so I'd slowly leak (which it came out as soon as I sat up) I got the epidural and my contractions wasn't so bad before it kicked in. It just depends on your body and how fast everything goes.
I have to have an IV with penicillin for the group B strep so I was just a little afraid of how that would effect it and I just heard it makes the contractions worse and labor last longer. @vegasmomma, @kasonsmama,
I had an induction with my first. I had to be on a magnesium drip for preeclampsia which counteracted the petocin so it took way longer than it should have..but other than that it was a breeze! Nothing to be worried about!
I went into labor a day before I was supposed to be induced . . Sadly I was only leaking and had to be induced . It's not as bad as you're making it be. But your water comes out super fast . I remember when I sat up for my epidural it went every where. I felt like I was peeing but it just kept coming and coming. I felt so bad for my nurse but I was in labor for 39+ hours. Just depends . My one friend was induced and had her baby 10 minutes later. Good luck!
Walk every day until you literally feel like you can't walk anymore. That helps
Update
Today my blood pressure was 158/94 and 140/101 for the second reading so they called the hospital to tell them I'll be on my way for induction. Currently sitting at my house just freaking out but about to head to the hospital.

How long did induction take for you mommies?
And we're u already dilated some or not?
Walking blocks & malls when I hit 36 weeks 😅 i rather walk her out than have to get induced 🤦🏾♀️ so hopefully I can get her out before my induction date 👏🏾
Finally have my induction date🙄. I feel like I waited forever man🙄😂.. My OB appointment went well nd the best news was I'm doing good and baby, I havent gain that much weight nd news about my induce date. Today was a overall good day at the doctors office.
I was induced and i swear it was my bad once I got up to 7 centimeters i was done for. In lots of pain but that was my first labor and I thought being induced would be way worse
