What was your experience with induction?

Question

I’m being induced this week and I’m really excited! I know the contractions come on stronger and faster than having natural labor contractions BUT I’m relieved that when contractions start I’ll be at the hospital and already comfortable without having to drive 30 min to the hospital in pain! 
My mom was induced for my brother and I and she had a good experience but my MIL I feel is trying to scare me. What was your experience? This is our first LO 💙

Answer

I was induced with my first and had a great experience. It was nice because we were already at the hospital & no guessing when I’d go into labor. I also can now say the alternative for me was scarier! I just had my second baby on February 1st and we barely made it to the hospital in time. My contractions started and she was born like an hour and a half later. Literally my body progresses extremely fast once contractions start. 😅😂 the nurses and even my doctor were shocked. The same happened with my first baby once they started induction, fortunately I was already at the hospital, though! Also they had no time to give me an epidural so I was pretty freaked out bc I definitely hadn’t planned to do it natural. So a positive of induction is at least it’s planned and you’re already at the hospital!

Answer

I was induced with my first LO and for me personally it did nothing, he was just too comfy and arrived naturally a week later
But the overall experience I couldn’t fault, everything was so calm and the staff were amazing I was just disappointed I got sent home again

Answer

I’ll most likely be induced this week with my second, and I was induced with my first. It was a decent experience, i felt more safe and secure because I was already at the hospital so I would have help right there if anything. I was still scared because it was my first but overall I believe I was more comfortable there than spontaneously going into labor at home. It’s not the most grand experience in the world lol but there’s a bit more control over the situation and you have more support as well as guidance.

Answer

I had great experiences with my first and second! I’ll be getting induced next week if he isn’t here before. My biggest advice is to just be as calm as possible. Enjoy the day. Calm mama calm baby. You got this!

Answer

I was induced all three times! It was great for me! First time I had no pain relief second and third a bit of gas and air and that was it. Good luck! 🥰❤️
