Induction or No?
Since last night, I've been having a lot of contractions that gradually got worse since Saturday. My doctor tells me to call when they feel worse, which they have been since Saturday and if they are 5-1-1. So since last night they continued into this morning so I called and yet again I'm at the hospital.

How far along are you? I would probably go ahead and get induced ??♀️ I was having mild contractions fri-sun and nothing today ? hoping my dr will give me an induction date at my appointment tomorrow, I'm due Friday. So I feel you!

A day ahead of me! Did you talk to your dr??

I'm glad someone is in the same boat!
I talk to my doctor in about 30 more minutes when he's gets here. Ughh...just don't know what to do. I really wanted just for it to happen naturally..but.

I'm in the exact same situation.. I've been to the hospital twice and I'm not dilating at all. The nurse told me to come back when the pain is more intense but honestly idk what that means because it hurts to me, I'm not sure how bad it needs to hurt. My doctor said by Wednesday he's going to suggest induction, honestly I may take him up on the offer.

They said the same exact thing to me about if the pain is more intense! It's been very heavy to me since least night. It's like crazy not knowing what to do...

That's the same way I feel, I don't know what intense is! It's driving me crazy because I'm not sure when to really go. I was able to get in with my doctor tomorrow instead of Wednesday hopefully he can give me some answers ?

So he told me that I can be induced but he thinks itd be a bad idea knowing that my dilation is not progressing and it could end up as a csection. I chose the route of not getting induced and going with the flow as best as I can.
He said that when they get worse and stay worse, then that means it's time.
I'm just going to wait it out I guess.
