I have to be induced

I have to be induced in less then 2 weeks because I have intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP), does anyone have an suggestions on how to prepare my body? I just don't want it to take forever since I'm being induced.

That's a bold statement from your doctor?!  

If you read up on all of the home labor inducing things... Maybe it'll trigger labor but most likely it'll just prepare your body. With high bp it's harder because being on your feet makes it go up and you don't want that to happen...

Best of luck!

I wish I knew too. I'm going to be induced early cuz of my bp. At my last appt, I had just hit 37 weeks and doc said if they induced me then I'd be in labor for two days. Hopefully there's more progress for both of us!
