Induction Day

I don’t have my induction until Thursday morning I’m so scared/so excited but I pray for safe labor & delivery you got this mama you are so strong 🩷

You got this, mama! You are one strong warrior 💪

I’ve been induced twice! First time it took two days, so be prepared to be there for a while. It can be a long and slow process to start. Bring games, books, coloring books, things to keep you busy.

I was just induced with my daughter and it was quick and easy!!

Good luck!

Aww I’m also a ftm & my induction WAS @4pm today but i left at 6am cause the baby could already be here waiting all that time . I was tooo excited ! I don’t have a story but I def say relaxing and calming your nerves with the thoughts of induction just helps trick your body into labor and we were MADE for this helps! & getting the epidural is not a crime but i say hold off as long as you can so you have the freedom of moving around incase you labor for 24-48 hrs (I wouldn’t want to be on bedrest that long) 😀 BUT We got this girl! Prraying and wishing all women having babies a safe delivery 🩷💙

I had 2 positive inductions .. I had pitocin both times and I used the peanut ball personally I hate that thing .. my water got broke both times . I’ve had the epidural before and this time I had Nubian . Good luck during ur induction !! If u feel nervous or have any questions plz feel free to message me

I was just induced on the 21st! I delivered little man on the 22nd at 11:19 am, I loved my experience! The nurses made all the difference in the world. You are stronger than you think you are and you got this! Good luck girl 😊

it is an IV pain medication it does not take all the pain of labor away but it does help . It’s just another thing added to my IV and they basically described it as the first bag works the strongest and after that they help less and less but I never finished my first bag so I don’t have experience with that part . I held off till I was around an 8 to get any pain meds . Nubian did make me a little in and out sleepy wise for very brief periods of time but to me that was expected since I had discussed it with my OB prior .

I have induction scheduled for tomorrow morning, I am nervous and anxious. I am not having any signs of labour till now (40 weeks plus 4 days). Scared 😟

I wish you all the best tomorrow. I pray that you safe delivery and hold your sweet baby in your arms and cuddle them.
YOU GOT THIS!!

Hi! I’m a FTM and I was induced at 39wks (I’m 40yo). I was NERVOUS since I had a very unfavorable cervix — but the hospital knew what it’s doing! I got the balloon inserted along with cytotec (cervical ripener) when I got there. I was really nervous about the ballon so I asked for nitrous oxide (can take the edge off, and it’s self-controlled — I knew I’d want the epidural but wanted to hold off a bit so that I could move more since moving positions during the pregnancy always helped with pain) but then I didn’t even have to use it at all! Contractions started soon after naturally, so I didn’t need pitocin for a while. Once the contractions ramped up I started wanting the epidural even if the balloon wasn’t out/even if I wasn’t 4cm yet)… well they put the epidural in and then tugged lightly on the balloon which easily came out since I was 4cm! Then I felt no pain, it was magical! Pitocin was increased slowly. 24hrs after starting, I was ready to push and my baby arrived an hour later!
