Inducement stories please!?

Question

Being induced tomorrow! Any one have any ing to share!? A little nervous

Answer

I was induced. 40 weeks and a few days. Lincoln was measuring small so they decided to induce since it was time. The pitocin started at 9 am--- dialated at 1 cm 30% effaced. It took several hours to hit 4 cm. I had the epidural at 11 am when the contractions were strong enough not to talk through. Within 2 hours I went from 5 cm to 10 cm. Pushed for a 1/2 hour and Lincoln came! You have nothing to fear with inducement. You'll be fine and very soon meet your little gift of life! Best wishes momma!

Answer

I was induced at 39+3 days. They started me on pitocin at 6:30ish pm to make my contractions stronger within 2 hours I was already dilated to a 10 and ready to push. I pushed 3 times and my daughter was born. No epidural and no pain meds :) You can do this!! :)

Answer

Was admitted around 8 PM to start cytotec to soften my cervix. Water broke around 6:40 am and had to wait 4 hours to start pitocin. Around 11, they hooked up the pitocin drip and contractions started up almost immediately. It was pretty crazy! My brother in law is an anesthesiologist and advised me to get my epidural about an hour after they start pitocin. Not kidding, that drug is pure bliss! They checked me at around 2:30 and I was still only 4 cm dialated :(. Doctor went home cause he thought it was going to be a while before I was fully dilated, but THEN at around 4:30 PM, I started feeling lots of pressure in my bottom! I was checked again and i was already 9 cm! Doctor was called back in, which took about an hour. I started pushing around 6 and our beautiful baby girl was born around 8:14. I would say the pitocin was a piece of cake compared to actually pushing. That was hell! So, so worth it though.

Answer

I had to be induced 2 weeks ago at 38+4 due to preeclampsia. They started slowly with Cervidil to soften the cervix at 4pm. It was supposed to stay in for 24 hours at most, but my water broke after 5 hours (at 9pm). So, they removed the Cervadil and had to have me started on Pitocin at 10pm. With Pitocin and water breaking, I had some nice and strong contraction through which I was breathing m, but when they checked after three hours of contractions at 1am, I was only 1 cm dilated. So, although I wanted a natural birth, I had an epidural. I could not imagine to have these contraction for another 12 hours to be all the way dilated and then still push out baby. With the epidural at 2am, I had some rest until 6:30 and then I started having some pressure in the back. They checked at 8:30 am, and I was 8 cm dilated. By then I had to breathe through these contractions and at 9:30 am, I started pushing (said my husband, I had lost all feeling for time). At 10:10, our little lady was born. Overall, induction was really not as bad as I thought it was going to be, but i did have an epidural, because Pitocin is quite strong. Don't worry! You can do it. Keep your thoughts and mind focused on your baby and it'll be over before you know it!

Answer

I am currently being induced at 40+3. Started @ 1cm and 50% effaced, -1 station. Cervadil at 630 pm and just started having pretty uncomfortable, regular contractions. But just resting trying to sleep to no avail. So that's my story so far, don't be nervous it will all work out just fine. :)

Answer

I'm getting induced tomorrow evening as well!  I'm super anxious and scared about the unknown. I'm 40+5 and barely at 1cm :( starting the cervadil first and then pitocin Wednesday morning. Good luck ladies!

Answer

Yay! I'm getting induced tomorrow as well!! Although I wish everything could of gone naturally but this baby boy doesn't want to budge. I'm not nervous when at all I just want him to be here already!! Good luck! Hope all turns out well 🤗
