Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I ahve no idea how to get things rolling for you but want to say Good Luck with everything. I was induced for both my pregnancies and I know how scary it can be. I am already nervous for this one coming too. I guess you never are really ready. Just try to relax, bring some magazines with you that you really like, something to suck on ( lifesavers,mints, ect) and even your own pillow from home if you think you will be more comfortable with it.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 Hi all. Sunday I go into the hospital to start Cytotec (spelling?) Then Monday morning they will start me on Pitocin. If I haven't had my dd by Tuesday afternoon, we will do a c-section. I am getting so nervous. This is my first baby. Any suggestions on how I can start the process along? I have not started to dialate at all. Please keep me in your thoughts and prayers.

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 I was induced with my son and it was horrible. 28 hours of labor and then a c-section. I recommend going into labor in natures own time as long as the baby is not in distress or you either. Your husbands semen is supposed to help thin out the cervix. You may also want to try nipple stimulation which can make contractions start. Also so mild to moderate exercise like walking. This baby I am not even trying to have the baby vaginally. Just going straight for the c-section. Good Luck! Chrystal Wife to Jace - together 6 Years! Happy Mom to - 4 on January 28! New Baby Swenson Due July 28, 2004!

Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 My dr says if I don't go into labor on my own, in about 3 weeks we will schedule for me to come in and be induced. This is my first and I have heard that labor is more painful when induced than when it starts naturally. Is this true for those of you that have been through both? I am ready for her to be born as this belly is really getting in my way and I am so uncomfortable. But I don't want her to come before feb 1st. I know it is selfish of me but I love purple and I want her to have the amethyst birthstone and not january's garnet. I have already been told that sex and lots of walking will help start labor so I plan on lots of both starting feb 1st if I don't go into labor before then.
