If induced.. did you end up getting a c section?

Question

Was wondering if anyone who was induced had to get a c section. When were you induced? And why did it lead to a c section?

Answer

I was induced last week with cervidil , after 17 hours I was just 1 cm dilated. Got epidural and pitocin, after 8 hours I was just 3 cms dilated. My dr told me the plan was wait 6 more hours to see if I get to 10 cms (1 cm/hour) if not then it will end in a C section. Surprisingly after 2 hours I was 10 cms and ready to push and my baby was born thru vaginal delivery. 
Ps. Also I got a fever during my labor, and my mom never reacted to pitocin when she delivered me and my sister, I think all of these factors made my obgyn think about a C section, but thanks God it was not needed

Answer

At my last checkup, my blood pressure spiked, so my doctor decided to induce that night. I was already dilated 4cm, so they hoped the induction would go well. I got put on pitocin, and baby’s heart rate dropped. My body wasn’t progressing any, so they turned it up and I decided to get an epidural. Right after the epidural, my blood pressure and baby’s blood pressure plummeted, so I was rushed to an emergency c-section.

Answer

I was induced at 38 weeks and 5 days because the baby was measuring too small. My water broke on the day I was to get induced, but they started the induction process. For 18 hours I was stuck on 1cm no matter how much they upped the dosage. I was told to get the epidural because it's going to be a long night. Once 3 am came and the doctors came to check me I was still at 1cm despite everything. It was going to be 24 hours since my water broke and they didn't want to risk any internal bleeding from the high dosage so I had to get a c section as that was the only option left. Even when I was taken to the theatre they checked me again but I was still at 1cm. So even if I had waited nothing would have changed. Not what I wanted but at least I recovered quickly 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

C-section. Baby was OP (sunny side up) and Asynclitic so just would not come out. The induction wasn’t the problem, my body responded well to that. It was baby position, i pushed for 2-1/2 hours 😢😭 I was 41 weeks.

Answer

I was induced and ended up having a c section. I was in labor for 30 hours and it stalled around 7cms. Found out my baby was stuck on my tailbone.

Answer

I did get close to a C section a couple times when my sons heart rate dropped and they struggled to get it back up. But the nurses were diligent in trying multiple things to get his HR back up to avoid an emergency Csection. Their hard work paid off and I was able to have a healthy baby born vaginally.

Answer

Induced 6/7 due to high blood pressure. I didn’t dilate past 8 and my water had been broken for 24 hours so we did a c section.  My induction was not a planned induction. It was more of a spur of the moment.

Answer

I was induced and didn’t end up with a c-section but I did have a forcep birth. ‘Little’ dude was 9lbs 9oz and I couldn’t get him out without assistance.
