Mamas! Need any advice you can give!

i got induced 11/12 at 9:30pm. i was only 1cm dilated and 50% effaced. I got two rounds of cytotec and had my son 12 hours later and only pushed for 6 minutes! I didn’t even need the pitocin because my body progressed so fast! sending you positive vibes. you got this mama!! i was so nervous going into it but i had the best experience possible!

My induction started 11/13, took 4 does of cytotec starting at 9pm. Two doses of 25 mg and two doses on 50 mg. 9:30p on 11/14, my water broke during a contraction and on 11/15 at 2:57a baby girl was born.

I didn't know I was going to be induced but went in due to stomach pains which were being caused by my gallbladder. I went into open minded and knowing things may not go as I want. I believe that helped. Just know you got this and our bodies are amazing!

I got induced 11/13, wasn't dilated at all nor was little girl engaged, pretty much nothing ready yet. After 2 doses of cytotek, my body went into labor without needing pitocin, I got an epidural at 4cm dilated. My OB decided to break my water since my baby's heart rate was dropping after contractions- i went from 4cm to 10cm within 15 mins and baby girl was born very soon after (within the hour, I wasn't tracking time by this point).

I have a paper with mantras given to me- it says things like "My body is ready and able to give birth to my baby". Whenever I got scared or started to doubt myself, I would take a breath and repeat that back to myself to keep calm.

The calmer you keep yourself, the better the overall experience will be as stress and/or fear can make pain worse, I find.
