Induction or c section?

I didn’t have a planned c-section so I can’t comment on that, but I was induced due to my GD being pretty crazy in the last few weeks of pregnancy, and it was an amazing birth! I was in labour for 26 hours and had the foley balloon and pitocin drip, if you’d like to message me I’d be happy to answer any questions! Everyone’s experience is different, so when I was told I needed to be induced I tried not to listen to the negative stories, but I know how hard it is x

My waters broke naturally but I wasn’t contracting so I had to be induced, both the gel and the hormone drip. C-section was last resort for me and I had a really positive birth. It’s long and can come on pretty quickly but it’s worth it all in the end! X

If i have another baby i will definitely choose a c section. I was induced with 3 pessary’s, a drip and waters broken and still nothing happened so it ended in emergency c section.
I feel like all of that caused me to panic and tense up so much that my body didn’t do what it should have done x

If i was ever mad enough to have another id still pick induction over c section. If I can avoid that pain again I would. The drip unmedicated was no where near as painful as my c section recovery. Which is also why I will never have another child. That pain was too much

i was induced and it ended up being an emergency c-section

I think every person will have different experiences with this, my friend for example had a very straight forward induction and would happily do it again.

I had a 5 day induction that ended in an emergency section, which was pretty traumatic and a very long recovery time.

I'm currently debating whether to go into labour naturally or have a planned section. Either way, I will never ever have an induction again - but that is my own experience with it and won't necessarily be yours x

I was induced last time and it didn’t work.. I was only 38 weeks it did end up in emergency c section. But this time 40 weeks I’m going for the induction again after a sweep and I’m praying it works!! Recovery is sooo hard for a c section I just want to be able to walk around a little more this time as I have a 4 year old.
But I have also heard planned once’s are sooo much nicer and it’s not that bad xx

Ooo this is honestly a hard one for me because I truly believe if I hadn’t had sepsis I would have had a really positive induction. I went to 1cm-9cm in 2 hours. It was so quick for me and I didn’t think that painful 😅. However I then felt really poorly and her heart rate stopped so ended up cat 1 c section under general anaesthetic.

I chose elected with my second as that happened a year later and I was still a big traumatised I didn’t get to meet her straight away so didn’t want to risk anything stopping that 😅

I had a week long induction and hypothetically (because I’m one and done for other reasons) I’d pick an induction again over a c section.

Don’t listen to the induction horror stories everyone is different it’s not all bad🤍
