Induction.

[mynamereese]

I was due Nov. 13. Im now 5 days overdue and just dialated to a 1. (Better than last week) My doctor scheduled my induction for Wednesday morning but wants me to come in tonight to get some medicine that will soften my cervix.I would like to hear some induction stories.  No sugar coating.  I want to know how bad it hurts.

I was due 11/11 but had my baby 11/14. I arrived to the hospital without being dilated or without softening of my cervix. I got the Cervadil (which is applied in the back of cervix which is uncomfortable when they apply it). Then 4 hours later I started feeling contractions. The contractions lasted for 12 hours (Worst pain of my life. Its like period cramps times a million. I literally almost broke the side rails  of the hospital bed because I was holding and shaking them because the pain was so bad ). I was contracting every 2-3 minutes. Pushing wasn't bad because all the adrenaline and wanting to see the baby you don't think about the pain. I had a natural birth without an epidural but it was worth it. The doctor cut me (midline) because it was my first baby and he didn't want me to tear as much. GOODLUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY

I had two previos natural vaginal deliveries this time i got induced. I was unable to handle the pain when i was 4.5cm so i asked for the epidural after that everything went fine. It took 14 hours for the whole process not bad as my second kid all natural got more then 24 hours
