Failed Induction

Went in for an induction yesterday at 41 weeks. The interventions they did were not successful and they sent us home. Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

I’d say I had a failed induction, I had a procedure done in 2021 that apparently resulted in scar tissue which was preventing me from dilating. We were given 3 options and chose a c-section after 26 hours

My induction took 53 1/2 hours and ended with a C-section because my two epidurals didn’t work and I couldn’t bare it natural.

Yup! My induction just failed after 2 rounds of cervidil. I was only 1/2cm dilated, so I got a c-section. The actual surgery was surprisingly smooth! Recovery is hard, so have lots of support♡

I asked for a c section and I was told I wasn’t a candidate and got sent home 😭 just want to meet my baby.

Yes because they probably want you to wait. Just wait until you're at least 41+3 and then you'll be a candidate. I started induction at 41+3 and had her at 41+5.

thank you! Heading back today so hopefully I get to see my baby soon 😓

Induction?

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

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!

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
