words of encouragement!?!
So I posted this earlier and no one decided to comment so let's try this again my induction date is set for January 15th and I just want some helpful words on what to expect/ what I should make sure I have when I go in just what I should need/ expect and some words or encouragement!
Getting induced was not bad at all for me. I asked them to start me on the lowest dose of pitocin and once it started my contractions gradually got worse. Started out like small period cramps, then got worse as time went by. Was in labor for 8 hooks before the epi and after epo I had her within an hour or so. It wasn't that bad.
The contractions will definitely come hard and fast. I was induced with both my two previous pregnancies. 38 weeks with with my third. With my first I was in labor for almost two days. With my second I was in labor for about 8 hours. The second time I made sure Iggot pain meds and epi early. My doctor was kinda upset because he said it can make labor longer. But we're the ones who have to suffer the pain. You'll do great.
Bump! Sorry no one answered you before, I'm a ftm though so I can't really be of much help :P
