My son was induced at 36+6 and born on 37+0 because I had gestational hypertension and he had suspected IUGR. He was born at 5 pounds, 2 oz. and dropped to 4 pounds 11 oz, but did not need NICU time. It did take about a month before he was strong enough to breastfeed so I pumped and bottle fed. Now a perfectly wild and healthy 3.5 year old.

Answer

I just had my son on 5/27. I was induced at 37+2 because I had high BP. We did the cytotec and then pitocin buy he was showing early signs of distress and I wasn't progressing very well so we ended up with a c section. He had breathing problems, and a collapsed lung. After birth he was immediately taken to the hospitals special care nursery and put on a cpap. They transported him to children's hospital nicu less than 24 hours after birth and he spent 2 weeks there but he's currently happy and just like any other baby. I didn't have the steroid shots before they induced me, I know some people do and I don't know if it makes a difference. It was hard but we got through it, he's worth everything.
