Induction is set for Monday 11am. Doctor checked and I’m 2.5cm dilated already. He said it shouldn’t be that bad for me since the process is already started. Can’t believe rainbow baby boy will be here so soon.
I haven’t. I went into labor the day before I was supposed to be induced with my daughter at 40+6. Labor was over 20 hours. Being induced this time cause of preeclampsia. I’m trying to stay positive about this whole thing but it’s hard when I haven’t had the smoothest pregnancy.
Totally understand! I had preeclampsia and other health issues and stayed in the hospital most of my pregnancy. It sucks, and staying positive is really the only thing that helps! I always had to hope for the best and prepare for the worst cause everything was always so complicated 🙄 you got this! & since labor may be long for you don’t hesitate to ask for the epidural as soon as you start getting the tough contractions.. (as long as you’re for the epidural of course) it’s the only thing that kept me going for two days.
Have you ever been induced before? Just so you know.. being slightly dilated doesn’t mean the process has started or that’ll be easier. It’s all up to your body. I was 2.5cm dilated and induced at 36wk 6d due to medical reasons and my labor ended up being 46ish hours and an emergency c section. Hoping yours turns out good, but just be prepared for anything! Inductions seem to be either really good, or not good at all.. it just all depends. Good luck mama!
