Positive induction stories?

Question

I have been 4cm, and 80% effaced for the last 2 weeks. I’ve tried all natural induction options. Pineapple, sex, walking, warm bath, nipple stimulation, and bouncing on a ball. Nothing has helped, so unless baby decides to come today/tomorrow I’ll be induced Wednesday, and I have so much anxiety about it. Has anyone been in a similar position as me, and had a successful induction? With my first I was already a 6/7, and didn’t know went in to my regular prenatal appointment, and he was born within 2 hours. This baby is being stubborn.

Answer

I had an induced vbac and it was great. I was only like 2cm dilated when I went in. Took about 24 hours total between the start of the pitocin and delivery but because it was a vbac they had to go much lower and slower with the pitocin than they normally would. I will likely choose an induced birth again this time simply so I can plan and have childcare for my 2 older kids

Answer

I was 41 weeks when I got induced with my daughter. Went in the night before they inserted those “seaweed sticks” (not sure what they called) into my cervix to loosen it up. Those started my contractions but then at 5:30
Am they administered pitocin and my daughter was born 12 hrs later. The contractions did cocked
On Super Strong and fast. Got the epidural at 3cm dilated because my contractions were “piggy backing” meaning I got no relief from the time one ended to the next time one started. Epidural took the contraction pain away I was able to sleep. I woke up and said “I NEED TO OUSH AND PUAH NOW” nurse thought I was exaggerating until they checked me two min later and I was already crowing! Pushed all in all 15 minutes and she was out (they made me push every other contraction) 12hra start to finish not bad at all!!!
