Opinions would really be appreciated :)

So i my dr told me i probably might be getting induced but he will let me know for sure on monday,i am thinking on just going ahead and inducing myself on a natural way if he decides that i will be getting induced..

What would you girls do?? Induce yourselves in a natural way or wait till you get induced with pitocin??  Id like to get some answers pls... Btw im 37wks 4days!

Thank you!

I also had the hormone drip which did make labour more painful but speeded it up. I went from 3cm to 9 1/2cm in 5hrs

You don't have to agree with being induced most the time it is a suggestion and women agree with it. Tell them you want to hold off until 41 weeks and then ask for a membrane sweep

My sister told me that when she got induced with pitocin it hurt more than going into labor naturally because her body was being forced to go into labor as in if you wait for your body to do it it will do it on its own time.

I don't think I'd go drinking castor oil or anything but it definitely couldn't hurt to do walking, bouncing, sex, that kinda stuff. All it could do is help (:

I'd do a lot of walking and bouncing on a yoga ball to get things moving! If that doesn't work, then just wait to get induced!
