Induction Ladies

Update: went to be induced on the 30th. Long story short, I’ll be seeing someone for trauma 🙃🙃

Being induced the 31st. Baby was due the 23rd and wants to procrastinate as much as I did being born I guess. 😖 I really wanted to avoid induction but nothing seems to work. I’ve tried raspberry tea, lunges/squats, curb walking, bouncing on the yoga ball. But at least it’ll be a Wednesday like me 🥲

What was it like for you though? I mostly wanted to avoid pitocin the most. But they said they would start with misoprostol first. Not too excited about that either but maybe it’s better?

For those who were told youll be induced at X weeks were you scheduled for the day of when u turn those weeks or how long in advance did you know the exact date of induction?

Currently getting the balloon method of induction. Please share experiences with this to reassure me.

Hi! First time pregnancy 37 weeks today and being pressured into an induction bc of a few “high” BP readings due to stress . All lab work normal , no other symptoms. Baby is looking great! Have an induction scheduled for Monday and really upset/ nervous . I don’t want all the interventions and worried my body and baby won’t respond well

Anyone else have this experience? Any positives experiences you can share about 37 week inductions? I know everyone is different but hearing positive things can be helpful 🙏🏼 thanks

Hey guys, since 35 weeks I have been “flirting with high blood pressure” as my doctor likes to say but as I’ve been able to keep it under 140/90 without meds I am currently just being monitored weekly and am still currently allowed to have a water birth, as I’m technically low risk.

However, I’m worried that if I leave it too late I run the risk of blood pressure increasing and having both the water birth taken away from me. And if I’m honestly I’m so unbelievably done with being pregnant I just want her here now.

I’m 39 weeks next week, am booked in for a sweep and have been debating asking to book in an induction with rods.

Has anyone had rods and had success at 39 weeks?

Has anyone had rods by choice and if not work and then been able to refuse any other induction methods?

I want to give it a go but I want to be able to say no to trying anything else if it doesn’t work. Since it would be by choice, I’m wondering if that’s a possibility (providing my waters don’t break of course).

I have my midwife app tomorrow anyway but thought it worth asking if anyone’s had experience with the above.
