Positive induction stories?

Question

I was wondering if anyone could share their positive or motivational induction experiences? I know it's not all going to be "rainbows & butterflies" but I've been surrounded by a lot of negativity lately & I'm trying not to let it bring me down. Being induced Friday morning due to gestational diabetes.  Thank you <3

Answer

I was induced just yesterday. I went 12 hours no pain management and with the last hour I got a 2mg shot to help with the pain, it was becoming too much. I did not do an epidural.

I only had to push twice, and he was out. Just listen to the nurses. Mine were so helpful. And I highly recommend skin on skin. It's such a wonderful bonding experience!  My lil man has breastfed already once and he was delivered at 703am this morning.

The only thing I found to be a nuisance was when I heard the pitocin IV go off to dose me, I knew a big contraction was coming. So it kinda told on itself lol.

I hope your delivery goes as well as mine did and quickly!

Answer

Remember every woman is different. You may have a great induction! I've been pregnant 4 times and been induced all 4 times. Just be surrounded by positive people. You can always tell your nurse not to let people in other than your birthing coach. Also, because you will be bed ridden (mostly likely), try sitting up as much as possible. Don't lay on your back. Nature needs gratuity and gravity is your friend 😊 it will help naturally to bring your baby into the birth canal, therefore the contractions won't take so long or be as painful.

Wishing you the best of luck. And you'll do great

Answer

I was induced by having my water broken and pit drip with my daughter at 930a on her due date -- she was born at 1230  after only 10 pushes. With my son, I was induced, 9 days early (in the same way as with dd) around 1130a and he was born in a flash at 115p. 
Both deliveries we pain med free with no tears. Alert, 8+pound babies. 
Currently due with babe#3 on February 14❤️ hoping to have a similar experience this time around! 
Induction isn't all bad!

Answer

I've been induced with both of my children and I don't think pitocin is as bad as people make it out to be. My second was a lot easier and I think it was because it was just my husband and I. With my first I had people in and out the entire time and it made me stressed. Just remember to breathe through the contractions and that it will be over before you know it. I also sat on a birthing ball as long as I was able to stand and I believe that helped me progress faster. Good luck!

Thanks for sharing your stories ladies. I'm set to be induced Wednesday night and I'm really afraid.

Answer

I watched my sister give birth to 4 children before me so when I got pregnant I knew what I wanted I wanted to be in control so I wanted to be induced I want pain management so I wanted an epidural.. I went In at 9 to get the pill put on my cervix and walked for a few hours then they checked me I had to have another pill walked again then went to sleep around 3 in the morning woke up at 6 to my water breaking got my epidural at 8 and had my little girl after 3 pushes at 11:26am I loved my induction and was very happy when I got pregnant a second time to do it all over my plans were set but with my second daughter my labor was a bit more drawn out it lasted 23 hours in total and I had to walk a lot more but still wouldn't trade it my second daughter was born after 6 pushes at 12:12am and I plan to do the same thing with this baby I'm 31 weeks and can not wait 😊
