I was induced with all 3 of my kids the first time it wasnt bad at all the worst pain i felt was him breaking my water but i also got the epidural with all 3 kids the second time sucked cause i tried to wait aslong as i could b4 getting the epidural then when i really wanted it he was busy doing other people so they gave me medicine threw my iv which sucked cause u still felt everything but ur so tired druged u just want to sleep. With my third i still tried to wait a while but i didnt wait aslong as i did with my second. I still felt my contrations with my 3rd so i dont think he did it right but i didnt feel the baby come out so i was greatful. But everyone and time is different. Its crazy i dont even no what to expect with this one. My first i was induced at 38 weeks and 4 days plus he had to be sucked out do to complications my second i was 3 days late and my third i was induced 3 days early.

Oh yeah...on top of no pain meds i had serious tears...i was tearing so bad she cut me to try to minimize the damage...my cervix tore...i had deep lacerations down the walls of my va-jay-jay...it was so bad that two weeks later i had to go in for them to use "silver nitrate" to caterize the wounds...all that being said i didnt really feel that part cuz they will inject a local into your part so you dont feel it...just like the dentist does...dont get me wrong...i was sore and swollen for a LONG time...but...at the time i had no idea all that destruction was going on...even w/out pain meds...so dont let it scare you. you should be able to get in the pool...they only ran my pitosin long enough to get contractions going...they def didnt keep me hooked up...i was on the birthing ball and i was able to still get up and do stuff...

Im so excited for you...C'mon baby!!!

Hey! yeah I watched it last night ! I felt so bad for her it looked horrible!! and painfull.. i'm sure that wasn't the most pleasant of experiences!.. yeah my midwife said that the first stage of inducing is the gel so they are going to try that first.. then it's breaking the waters if it doesn't work and then it/s the drip :/.. when she wass talking about the drip it sounded horrible!.. .... On one born I can't believe how much freaking out the other girl did when she was dilating but when she was actually having the baby she was great! seeing as she wasn't even using the gas and air !.. I would feel so proud if that was me lol.. I hope to god he comes on his own but as it gets closer i am getting less hopeful lol ! x
