inducing labor?

[ukiebarbie]

Okay so I am a new mother- I am due on Sept 18th. I was wondering what peoples intakes are on inducing labor?

[dawnjohnson5]

Mine were induced. I have no issues with it.

[Due9]

I will tell you my experience. I was induced both times with my children and didn't have any issues at all. Although they both were fairly easy labors and delivieries, my second child was way easier than my first and I actually thought having dental work was worse than labor, for me.

I'd never do it if it wasn't an absolutely health necessity.

ive had natural birth and  induced birth and I will never again do induction. My second I had very bad preterm labor so they choseat 35ish weeks to induce labor because I was already 41/2 cm an my water hadnt broke yet so they took me in an induced me nad I hated it and will never do it agian unless its a llife or death situation. my first was natural birth and I went in tolanor an every thing on my own and it was peaceful easy going which is completly opposite of my last :O) GL though I think it depends ons the person

My  first 4 babies were all inductions - I LOVED them.  Always knew how to plan (which was especially important once we had 2...3 kids at home).  I knew I'd have time to get an epidural (something I never intended to go thorugh labor without).  Each one was an all-around great experience.

My 5th baby had a mind of his own -- he decided to come in an insanely fast labor/delivery the evening before I was scheduled to be induced!  He certainly turned our wolrd on its end!

was induced all 3 times wasnt too bad. Went 42wks with my 1st 39wks and 5days with the 2nd and 38wks with the 3rd.

I was induced and I'm glad I did I was so uncomfortable and he was so big the one thing that I've notice is that alot of inductions make for long labor I labored for 25 hours

I was induced... I caught alot of crap from people for doing it but my labor and delivery was great! I was only in hard labor for about 3 hours.

My opinion is that induction should be avoided unless there is a valid medical reason for it. "I'm tired of being pregnant." or "It's close enough." or "The baby is big." are not valid reasons, in my opinion.

I've had two all natural births (including my first) and one induced. I will never be induced again, the pain is through the roof, that is the only time I've had to use any pain meds for labor. And my recovery was longer. Never again.
