Induction bright and early! :-\

Getting induced tomorrow morn at 6am. I am terrified! I was induced with my first. Granted I was at 0cm with her and not effaced and basically ended up being the worst experience ever. I have been at about 4-5cm for a week. Does anyone know if this one will go smoother than the last being the circumstances are already completely different. I'm so scared I could cry. Oh because the worst part about the 1st one was I was in so much distress that we both had bad fevers and she had to be in the intensive care until for a week. Advice please :-)

No it was my 2nd child but I had my 1st completely natural. I'm really hoping to avoid being induced this time because I had too much trouble from it last time. But if I end up having to be I'll just do my best to think as positive as I can and make sure I get epidural immediately.

:) thanks for the positivity. It's rough. Was it your first? This is my 2nd and they say that will play a factor also. I have a feeling I'll just have to wait and see.

I was induced last pregnancy at 5cm and it was horrible it didn't even help me dilate. But who knows all of us are different and it may go smoothly for you this time just try not to stress and worry and try and be optimistic about it all. Wish you the best of luck tomorrow and really hope everything goes smoothly for you.
