Induced Moms

I'm 39 weeks , I've discussed induction with my doctor at 41 weeks . I know inductions are more harder on your body and may put baby in more stress , then going into labor on your own . Just wondering how many mommys had to be induced and your experience .

I did, cause baby boy wasn't coming. I got the pessary at 41+5 for 24 hours but that didn't work, got my waters broken at 41+6 and was told id be allowed two hours til they started on iv after they broke them. Contractions started within 15 mins and were 3 mins apart.  I was in labour 9.5 hours and baby boy was born by emergency section cause of complications, but none of them caused by being induced. I didn't need any meds to help labour along, and didn't find my contractions painful til i got to about 8cm x

I was induced last year in April, it wasn't bad at all I was 6 days late and not even a finger tip dilated when I went in, I was on pitocin for about 11 hours when my 9lb 2oz daughter was born! I wouldn't mind getting induced when I get preggo again, I'm actually going to ask my doctor to induce me at 39 weeks so maybe the next baby won't be so big :)
