Dilated without contractions

Oh good luck, not too long now!!!

Waterlily, an induction doesn't have to be bad, I had an epidural with mine and it was a godsend, I honestly planned to use as little pain relief as possible but meh, the epi was great, sooo glad I had it, and the induction was much more manageable X

 

[x-li-x]

Ive been induced with both my previous pregnancies, and i didnt find them too bad.

I went into preterm labour with my son at 30 weeks which the managed to stop and then he ended up being 2 weeks late , so i was induced, fortunately when checked they could break my waters , so they did that, i was monitored a tad then went for a walk, then as things picked up i used gas an air and that was it for pain relief, from getting waters broken to getting him out it was 2hrs 30 mins!

My daughter was induced also 5 days before her due date as they thought she was too small, I stayed in hos over night and was given a pesery( sorry not sure how to spell it or if i have the right thing) anyway over night i started contracting and by mornign when checked i was sent down for waters to be broken mw broke my waters and almost immediately i was contracting, slightly worse then with son, contractions were right on top of each other and i was getting no breaks, but i managed on gas and air only and in just under an hour from waters being broken little lady was out.

both times it was fast and painful but i manage don just gas and air and it was over fast so I cant complain really, expecting this one to be just as fast especially if i end up induced again, but who knows, but i certainly wouldnt say no if offered, honestly being induced isnt that bad, - though it is different for everyone x

I heard many horror stories about induction. I guess people are different, and have different experiences with it. But, I am sure that if I will be induced, then I will get the epi for sure.

Unfortunately, we don't have an option of gas and air. We either get painkiller or epudural. I wish we had an air gas in here.

For now my OB thinks I will go into labor myself.

Good luck to you as well!

Oh thank you for asking

I had an appointment today. I am around 4.5 cm dilated, 80% effaced and my water is bulging. I had some contractions on the monitor, and my OB, this time 100%, is sure that my little girl will arrive this week. She told me to walk today and tomorrow, so that my water breaks naturally. She was so sure baby will arrive this week that she said not to schedule an appointment for next week

Waiting game starts

Oh great news
4.5cm already! Wow! Not much longer now... Full moon is working for you

 

[waterlily13]

Is it full moon now I am not even aware of that

 

[Steph82]

Full moon today
LO knew all along

 

[waterlily13]

Oh I hope I will go into labor today. I like number 27 I have 5.5 hours left

 

[waterlily13]

I am still waiting It is getting so annoying. I am so uncomfortable and angry with my OB. She has been telling me I would go into labor for 10 days now. Last week she was sure baby would come that weekend and this week she was sure baby would arrive till Thursday. I guess I am an exception..

 

[USAF_WIFE]

Walk, walk, walk! I know it seems standard to say but its what brought me into full labor both times!

I am doing a lot of walking, although it is very uncomfortable. Today, I cleaned and cleaned. A little bit of cramping, but nothing else. But, I will keep walking..

Thank you for taking your time and responding.

I know your feeling. I had my ob yesterday and she even said she cant believe that I havent gone into labour yet. I am 100% and still 3 cm. She said my body is ready (which I knew because of Braxton Hicks) but that baby is just being lazy I had the same problem with my daughter and nothing worked. Had to wait to get induced with her and it stillt ook 4 rounds before she would shift. But I am once again trying everyting again to try and get this baby moving. At least with having this baby in the US this time rather than UK like last time, I only have to be 2 days over before they will induce me rather thatn 2+ weeks before they would in the UK.

Hope you have better luck than me on gettting your labour started. Keep us posted

 

[waterlily13]

I am contracting every 4-5 minutes. We are on our way to the hospital. I hope this is it. Please, please keep us in your prayers.
