Guess I’ll be seeing my baby quicker than I thought I am 37 weeks 5 days being induced for having…

No induction story, because he was ready to come out, but I had my son at 37 weeks 3 days and he is perfectly fine and perfectly healthy. Was 7lbs 11oz

@girlmomx5, @dee2115, how the pain ? Sorry I’m new to this and I’m a bit scared because I don’t know what the process would be like

@angelinosmommy, whenever I got to the hospital I was already 8cms dilated and my contractions were 3 minutes apart and they were unbearable. I labored at home for as long as I could because I wasn’t sure if it was the real thing or not. So I waited until the pain was so bad that I couldn’t walk or talk. I did get the epidural at the hospital though

How do they tell if your fluid is low? Ultrasound? Or just by measurements?

@lifewithlynniejade88, both

I was induced at 37 weeks 3 days do to preeclampsia and I was in labor for 23 hours and with my experience it hurt more that naturally going into labor but my son was healthy. I did end up getting an epidural about 2 hours after they broke my water just because I couldn’t take it any longer but I really tried not to cause I’m scared of needles. After the epidural it went faster probably because the pain was gone.

Ok. Just wondering. My OB only gives 2 ultrasounds so I guess he'd give me another if he suspected low fluid. I'm measuring small so I'm hoping mines ok.

@lifewithlynniejade88, they have to give you ultrasounds because then they measure using the ultrasound to see if you have fuild not if your measuring small

I was induced at 37 weeks & 3days .. I went to my regular appointment on a monday , not thinking anything was wrong. Cause at my last appointment i was fine! But nope i had risk factors of preclamp . my bp was high & i had alot of protein in my urine.

So i had to have baby i was so scared!!

I started having painful contractions so i asked for epidural quick lol . then they started me on pitocin , i was in labor for 18 hrs. I was good until it was time to push, i felt everything!! It was painful! Once my baby love came all that pain faded . You're gonna be so in love & forget what u just went thru! ❤ good luck hoping you have a smooth delivery!😘

I was induced at 37 weeks due to high BP & compared to going into labor naturally, it was much more uncomfortable, I won’t lie. The worst part was not being able to eat. They had me on a liquid diet for 24 hours 😩 Horrible. I went in at night and spent the first 12 hours with cervidil inserted to ripen my cervix then in the morning they started pitocin. I guess you can say I was in labor for 12 hours from the start of pitocin to when I had him but it didn’t get unbearable until the last 2 or so but thank God for the epidural. I spent most of the day without dilating much but once they upped my pitocin & broke my water labor progressed really quickly & it hurt. Two pushes and he was out though & we were both healthy & there were no issues.

Anyways, GOOD LUCK & YOU’VE GOT THIS!! 💕

You’ll be good girl. I’m sure you’re in good hands!! It will all be worth it as soon as you see that baby of yours.
