Question on being induced

[LauraB78]

It seems that almost every woman I know that has been induced, ended up having a c-section.. I am just wondering for those of you that had to be induced, what was your experience? Did they have to do it more than once and did it result in a vaginal delivery or a c-section?

I have an appointment tomorrow and I have some questions, but my Dr. is seemingly anti-c-section, and I just want to be as informed as possible. I personally don't want to be induced for days on end just to suffer through all that if it is likely I will end up with a c-section anyway, you know? I am 39 weeks and my Dr. doesnt want me to go over (and I dont want to either!!) B.c I have had some complications during my pregnancy that make it a better decision to have the baby at 40 weeks, which is the end of the week..

Anyway, please respond with your expeiences! Thanks so much! Hope everyone is well! =)

Well i was induced at 41 weeks as all of yo know..lol..the doc broke my water first and i started having contractions like 15 mins later....then about a hour later i was in full blown labour!! But my contractions werent lastning long enough for the nurse that was sitting with me so they put me on the drip! I went really fast and i had a vaginal birth!! This experience for me was the greatest!! I would do it all over again in a second! I opted for the epi though because i wasent changing in my cervix when the doc checked me after like three hours and i thought i would be in labour forever and when the epi was in as i was laying down i needed to push and i was fully...so in a matter of mins i went from a 3 and only 50% effaced to fully dialted and reaay to push with the babys head right there!! lol...I had a great experience and i hope you do to laura! Im sure you will have no troubles..some women arent ready to be induced when they are and thats why there bodies dont do it..(because its not ready) which is why so many end up in sections!! Good lkuck hun....keep me posted doll!!

I was induced by choice with my 4th baby.  I ended up with a vaginal delivery as well.

Wow Laura......I can't believe it's time for you already.  Seems like just yesterday you got your BFP!!

Oh, I got mine (BFP) last Monday.  Wasn't sure if you had seen that....Hadn't seen you on much lately......

I was kind of induced...I went in the day before I was due and was 5cm but not in labor, just some small contractions.  So they broke my water, and put me on pitocin and I had my daughter vaginaly in about 6 hours...it was pretty easy, but I think mine went well because I was already started, just not in active labor yet.  Good luck, are you dilated or effaced yet?
