Ftm  37+4  and my doctor wants to induce me on the 8th for high blood pressure and because little man's growth has slowed down (I think it's because he has no more room)...anything I should know besides what I have seen on medical websites ...thanks in advance ladies

Just had a baby in April at 37 weeks 3 days due to Gestational hypertension and I had a csec because my first was a csec. He was perfect no problem at all. Blood pressure went most of the way down by my 6 week fu. Good luck! I am pregnant again and worry I will have it again very stressful buy I have a great Dr.

Pitocin, from my experience, makes contractions much stronger. The medicine is forcing your body to contract at a pace other than what it wants to. Some women can handle it. I labored for 8 hours before I asked for one with my first child. It was just too much pain and they were too close together for me to relax in between. They increase the dosage at a pretty steady pace and leave it on for most of your labor if not all of it so it's like u get no break. As long as you know what you what your limit is and if you're open to an epidural or not, u should be ok. I am also being induced on the 8th :) but I'm having my tube tied after ands my Dr is on vacation the following week and I don't want anyone else to touch me lol good luck

He didn't say how exactly I have an appointment with my obgyn on Tuesday I will ask .....from what I have read pitocin intensifies contractions and that is when I should ask for an epidural ..correct??
