anyone getting a scheduled induction?

[amanada]

Just went in for my 37 week appointment and it looks like I'll be getting induced. It wasn't part of my plan to be induced, in fact I was hoping to avoid it. So I'm kinda in the dumps. Anyone else have similar feelings or have been through this before?

[Jase_renaye]

I'm hoping I ho into labor by Wednesday b cuz if I don't I will b getting induced I'll b 41+1

I'm being induced tomorrow...wish I'd go naturally but I know I'd end up going past due date and needing to be induced anyways. I'll be 39+2. I was induced with my first and I didn't feel any pain until they broke my water n then I got the epidural n then it was smooth sailing from there! Well see how my body reacts to it this time. Every body and pregnancy is different

Yes it is! The nurse told me that it's a really slow process for first time moms. :( So she told me he probably wouldn't be here till the 20th. And really? It's supposed to hurt worse? I told my doctor I wanted to get the epidural and she said well we are gonna make you watch a video on it while your there and you can't get it until you're 4 cm dialated. Ughhh. I'm scared, nervous and anxious all at the same time! Lol. Are you dialated or effaced any now?

[amanada]

Yes! Maybe that's why I'm uneasy about having to be induced. I took birthing classes and they didn't really cover the topic. What they did cover was the drugs that would be used, and how much more painful it is lol kinda hard to avoid any pain in pregnancy but not looking forward to knowing when it's going to happen. Is this your first as well?

[DMullin0215]

I hope all goes well for you also! :) And I go in at 11:30 in the morning. I hope I can sleep the night before.. And you're right about the birthday thing. Are you a first time mom?

[amanada]

Alright! Someone with the same date as me. At least your baby's birthday won't be overshadowed by Christmas. I hope it goes well for you. I go in at 8pm, kinda glad it isn't in the morning as I probably would have a hard time sleeping

My due date was 12/25 and i'm getting induced on 12/19 also! I'm really excited to meet our little guy! <3 I am nervous though. It will all be fine. Good luck! :)

I'm also not completely out of the water of getting a c-section either. I guess it depends on how my body takes the drugs. I'm also trying to stay positive but I'm constantly rethinking all the negative stuff. My bf is trying to be very supportive and keeps reminding me that everything will be OK. Most of my friends have really dropped off since I became preggers so I'm just feelin the blues. I'm glad that I'm not alone with these feelings, that makes me feel better about it

Yeah they told me if I dont have her naturally by my due date they r gonna induce me theres issues with the umbilical cord Im not necessarily happy about it but its kind of nice to know about when exactly Ill get to meet her Im trging to stay positive about it lol

They want to induce me next week sometime.. I went from c section to induction.. I am still scared

[amanada]

I found this all out yesterday and it blows my mind. I was due Dec 26th but the doc is scheduling the induction on the 19th, which is when I'll be 39 weeks. I'm excited to get to meet my little boy but I'm just not looking forward to the induction process. I feel like there it's going to be so much more stressful and painful...when are you being induced?

[margueritebrayden]

I'm having the same feelings :(
