Induction…

Soooo, I was really against inducing after my first baby as it was not a nice experience at all!!
But due to a change in medical conditions I’m having to be induced this week now as I want to avoid a c section due to being on my own with the kids throughout the week.

I’m just wondering if anyone else has had second time round a better experience few mums at school have said it’s a lot quicker second time round.

I’m just wondering as I now have to sort out care for my 5 year old as I was in for over a week with her😩

Around 45% of inductions end in emergency c-section. Have you discussed benefits v risks with midwife/ consultant?

After my growth scan the consultant told me id have to be induced without actually explaining why. My baby is fine. She hasnt grown since last scan which was 21st September but she is in a healthy weight. 5pounds 6ounces. Babies have been born at that weight before hell even less at my point in pregnancy. I made it very clear i do not want to be induced. I have no reason to believe that anything is to be concerned about. Baby is moving fine, all her vitals are great, my vitals are great. I dont have gestational diabetes either. Everything ive been told during the scan and previous appointments is that everything is perfectly fine. He wasnt happy with my answer and i have told him id rather wait till i see my midwife which is this friday and see what she says. Im already at that point where i get seen every 2 weeks. I havent even been able to discuss my birth plan before this doctor starts telling about inducing me. I really hate doctors, its always been horrible experience.

How are we getting babies ready to come out?

I’m not usually one to be impatient and I do believe babies come when they’re ready (hence getting to 42+1 in my first pregnany).
However, I have a toddler and had a previous c-section. I’m scared about how continuing to get bigger will affect my scar / possibility of it rupturing.
I am booked for an elective section if baby is not here by next Monday - but I really would prefer a VBAC (for recovery with a toddler)

Did you do anything that you truly think helped bring on labour?

Induction

Those who have experienced induction before, whether good or bad experiences, are you able to pinpoint why the outcome was good or bad? For example what week were you induced at and was there a point in the process that looking back was a good sign/sign things probably would not progress?

Hopefully this makes some sort of sense....
