Induction booked

Its called cascade of interventions inducing before baby and your body is ready disrupts normal labor physiology which can creat side effects that requires further interventions, labour start when Baby Lungs are fully formed to be able to breathe outside then they give green light to oxytocin and the rest…. You really need to know why you need induction

I had to have an induction - not entirely sure why but the doctors took a glucose test and then induced me 3 days before I was due. I never got the test results back from the glucose test and I had vaginal birth with ventouse as my labour was stalling due to my blood pressure being high, I also had an episiotomy because I was still “small” even though I had been doing my perineal stretches [I struggled with that towards the end being full term and couldn't quite reach 😆😅] the doctors will usually perform a caeserean if a natural birth is risky

I had an induction which led to an emergency c section first time.I wouldn't recommend induction if it can be avoided, as it's more painful than normal labour and tends to lead to interventions.
My second birth was much nicer, I was meant to have an elective c section at w39+4 but ended up giving birth naturally at w38+5. I had intercourse which triggered labour a few days earlier and lost my mucus plug, but I was only 2cm dialated, then 3 days later I had a bath and went into active labour and gave birth naturally with epidural and minimal stitching. Initially, best to trigger natural labour.

3 inductions all vaginal births. One thing I will say is once they start u off. Don't stay laid in bed if u can get up n move. Do so. Have they told u what they plan on using as there's more than one way to induce. Ask lots of questions that's what they are there for. Xx

I had an induction at 39+4 weeks. I was on the brink of having a c-section, but in the end I had an intervention with forceps

Okay so when they start the induction make sure u ask for the pills that soften ur virginal walls in the uk it’s called pesarian or something like that and once its in girl walk like u never walked curve walk bounce on the ball the hole lot the first one might not work so do the same with the second just keep going walk run the hole lot hopefully u dialate once u have you’ll be taken to the labor ward to get hooked up to the monitors and start ur contractions warning this shit hurts I’m not going to tell you it’s rainbows and sunshine this shit hurts badd once it kicks in af first it will be okay then it will kick in just don’t give up breathe as much as u can through each contraction bite on a pillow anything u can and let gravity do its work so any position where the baby can slip right out like standing up squat on ur knees on the bed or squats on the bed I’m telling you should all be good I had this with my second hurt like a bitch but I have a gorgeous 4 month old now and no C-sc

I was induced and ended up having a semi elective c section as after 5 days nothing had worked and I was 0cm. But to be honest I am so glad, the c section was excellent, a very calming experience with a lively team of doctors around me, my partner holding my hand and our music playing in the background. I'm almost 2 weeks post partum and I'm feeling great and would definitely opt for a c section again.

I hope your induction goes well, but please don't be worried about having a C section and remember that at any point in the process you can change your mind.

Good luck

I was induced due to high blood pressure and ended up choosing to have a C-section because it felt like I had no other choice and didn’t want to end up having an emergency one
The Pessary didn’t agree with me and put me into hyper stimulation where they had to remove it.
Following this every examination was extremely painful so I knew I couldn’t have the balloon method.
I will never regret having a C-section, best decision I could have made. Please dont stress if you have to have one. It can be a great experience when it’s not an emergency

I had an induction as my baby wasn't growing inside, I went in at 38+2 weeks and gave vaginal birth at 38+5 weeks. No interventions, just a tear. It took three days as there was a lot of waiting and they were being careful with the dosages (pessaries etc). I was close to giving up and asking for a c section (felt exhausted) but glad I didn't. We all know what's best for our bodies, for me epidural was best.

I had an induction, had a unmedicated natural birth. We are out there we just don’t shout about it!
