upset I won't know what it feels like

Bethany • Sat, May 27

I'm being induced Tuesday and it's starting to get to me that I'm not going to know what it feels like to go into labor on my own. It's just something I've always imagined in my head and I know I'll get to feel it in the hospital but eh. I always imagined myself waking my husband up in the middle of the night saying "this is it. It's time"

Anyone else go through this?!?

Is there any chance you can decline the induction and wait for your body to go into spontaneous labor?

Do you have access to a birth doula? You would have a hard time hiring one this late but there might be one in your area willing to meet with you and talk to help you cope.

No she has been flipping from breech to not breech and I have polyhydramnios

I understand how you feel. I had to have a csection and my baby was premature, so I feel like I was robbed of finishing my pregnancy. And I also feel cheated out of having an actual delivery.

Yeah, Kelly, I have the same issue too. I'm too narrow for the baby to pass through.

You absolutely have the right to decide. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the option. ICAN is a great resource if you want to look into it. Driving farther for quality care can be stressful but it's also doable. Good luck. ❤️

Fel, I feel like a vaginal would be too risky seeing as the problems I had before and after my Csection and I wouldn't be able to deliver at my local hospital if I even wanted a vaginal birth

Yes this will be my 6th induction and I'm kind of sad I've never got to experience it

This is how I felt, I wanted as natural birthing process as possible but got far from it. I'm just thankful my daughter and I are both healthy but still mourn not getting anything close to the birthing experience I wanted.

I had an induction planned but went into labor on my own a few days before
