Cervidil

I’m getting induced in 5 days and my doctor will be starting me on cervidil. Anybody else had this done? Is it painful?

I had this with my first induction. It’s not painful. It’s a cervix ripening agent it won’t make you contract, that’s pitocin. At the time L&D was short staffed so the staggered all the births as best as they could. I had cervidil through the night and then they started my pitocin around 10 pm. I was fully dialated by 1am and failed to progress due to my son being much bigger than we thought so he was stuck for about 2 hours before I opted for a c section. Once they wheeled me into the OR he was here 30 minutes later. He was born at 3:11am and whew was the recovery from that c section rough. I’m a scheduled c section this time around due to complications and preeclampsia.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
