I'm being induced tuesday

[marie3246]

Went to the doctor today and not much has progressed. I was 1.5 cm dilated and 50% effaced for the last 3 weeks and Today I was 2cm. Since I am overdue they scheduled me an induction for tuesday. I wanted to push it back til at least Friday but they didn't have any room available so Tuesday was my only option. I have to go tomorrow am and Monday to get pgel to soften my cervix which she said could also push me into labor.

I am glad they are allowing me to be induced instead of just doing a csection and they have assured me again that they are not csection happy. I guess part of me doesn't understand why they can't wait til I'm 2 weeks over and what the rush is. And i am worried since they told me having an induction will increasw my chance for a c section but i guess its less risky than just waiting for her to come.They said it was due to placenta thinning. I guess we will see I have 5 days for her to come on her own!

My induction went really well and was an easy and quick labor and delivery. Good luck!

My induction went well, took a while, but no issues and no C-section. Hope it all goes well!

Good luck! Maybe you'll go on your own before then

I feel like inductions that happen when you are overdue are probably generally more successful? Last time I was 2 weeks overdue and my induction went well. The whole thing was 11 hours from first drip of pitocin to baby in arms and the first 6 of that I didn't even have pain really.

Also a lot can happen in five days!

Good luck!
