How does being induce work?

Question

First pregnancy. Will be induced at 38 weeks. Do they induce you and send you home or do you just have to fight through the contractions until labor comes?

Answer

I stayed at the hospital and it took 44 hours. Typically you and the baby need to be monitored the entire time, but there are several methods. Ask your doctor what the plans are.

Answer

Where are you? I’m in Ohio and was also induced at 38 weeks. But it definitely depends where you are

Answer

Typically the doctor may do a sweep of your membrane on the visit before induction. They may also ask you to come in the night before being induced. At this time they insert a pill into your vagina to help with dilation. Doctor may also decide to use the balloon method to ripen the cervix. Based on how far along you are in dilation after either of these procedures,  Typically the doctor would burst your water bag to bring on labor. Lastly  they give you the inducing drug (synthetic form of the hormone your body produces for child birth). Some women do not produce this hormone and must be induced. But that's basically the stuff they do.

Answer

Once they have medically intervened with labour they have to monitor you closely. Because if anything went wrong it would be them liable. 
Depending on your cervix if it’s still hard and closed they will use a pessary to soften it up. Sometimes they this takes more than 1 try. These get left in for a while so expect a long process. 
In my case I was 2cm and almost thin so I didn’t need a pessary - we just started the hormone drip. My waters had gone naturally. And i was having mild contractions so the drip just made them come quicker. 
The induction didn’t work for me. I didn’t even get past the 2cm that I was admitted with. It’s not THAT common but it can happen. Eventually had a csection

Answer

I got induced had to stay in the hospital. 22 hours later had to have a C-section.

Answer

It depends on your region and method of induction. For mine, they inject a jelly and send you home. second day is a double dose. Third day they put this tape that hangs out inside and admit you until baby comes. Talk to your doctor about the method used at your delivery Center.

Answer

If they induce you that means that you’ll stay at the hospital
