induced tomorrow morning

morganoo

so tomorrow morning I'm being induced basically against my will as I'm currently 5 days overdue. I know there's different methods of induction but will they let me pick which one? last week I was already at 3 cm dialated and 50% effaced and I've been still cramping but I don't want any pessarys or catheters as induction. I just want them to get straight to the point and break my water and the pitocin if breaking my water doesn't work. do you think they'll give me a hard time about it? my whole birth plan has already gone out the window and I'm really angry about it.

They cannot force you into an induction. If you don’t want to do it don’t show up.

Since you are already at a 3, with my hospital the only next steps are pitocin and breaking your water. Just tell them right when you get there. The only catheter I had in at that point was the IV for pitocin. Once I had to get the epidural and c section, then I had a urine catheter and it was definitely not bad since they put it in once you're numb and then it doesn't hurt coming out

I would ask for exactly that. I went in Tuesday after contracting for over 12 hours at 6-7 minutes. They started pitocin. Broke my water and things moved quickly. I was 3cm when the decided to move things along. Good luck. It was a hard but awarding adventure.

I also had a birth plan to go naturally and no drugs. Yeah. That didn’t happen. 27 hours of labor and 2 hours of pushing with my babies head wedged in my pelvic bone. Sure glad I choose the drugs. Lol!! Even if my epidural fell out 1.5 hours before I delivered.
