I am tomorrow and I am so nervous, I can't believe I am done with my pregnancy and I will get to meet her...I also think the wrong scenarios and I get paranoid.....I will most likely not be able to sleep tonight due to the anxiety...
Who else is getting induced?
Re: Anyone being induced??
I have 2 kids and I remember once I got to the hospital with contractions I was at 2cm with one, and at a 3 with my other son, and I got pitocin on both and things were fine....but for some reason I am like a new mom with this pregnancy maybe because I waited too long to have another baby (6 years)....Im older and think on the negative scenarios, or possible C-sec, etc... etc...u know.
Induction is the devil!!!
Wow. Hi. You're new here and don't have a good guage on sarcasm and senses of humor on the board. It's a joke because there are women who will respond inappropriately, mostly newcomers like you.

That is perfectly fine, but if you would ask or post something would you like a comment totally out of nowhere with nonsense response like induction is the devil? #1, what the hell did she mean? I didn't even get it, and the picture there I didn't get it either, I mean...Thank for the comment.
I know, girl. Just go in with an open mind and heart. Make decisions the best you can. At the end of the day, all the hubbub will be less important with a new squish in your arms. There are lots of things that can go wrong, but there are lots of things that can go right. Here's hoping an easy L&D for you tomorrow!
Apparently you haven't seen the movie The Waterboy. The mother (Kathy Bates) tells her son (Adam Sandler) everything is "the devil". If you've read many of the debate posts about induction, there are women on this board that go over the top with how "wrong" induction is. It's not mine or anyone's place to lecture you on your birthing choices, but unfortunately there are plenty of women on this board who seem to think so. I was merely poking fun at them. I'm sorry that all of that was lost on you. It was all in jest.
Best of luck to you on your induction tomorrow.
I was induced both times. I liked knowing that in the am we would be starting the whole process and I could stop guessing each night if my water would break that night or not. Not that we are going to try for a third child...but I would get induced a third time.
With DD (in 2010) I had one dose of the gel in the am cause I was already 2 cm. That started the contrations within 2 hrs. They broke my water and started PIT after 6 hrs. I pushed for 2 hrs before they realized DD didn't flip and was sunny side up. I ended up delivering her that way (with no foreceps) after they started talking C/S.
With DS (Nov 2) they only broke my water at 9 am cause I was already 3. By 12:30 I was 5 cm and they started the PIT. By 1:30 I was 10 cm. DS's heartrate was dropping so we tried pushing. I delivered after only 7 mins of pushing. DS was delivered facing the right way this time.
Word, "red mittens". Word.
Good luck!
why you so mean candace! geez. LOL. they just don't know who you are. if they choose to hang around, they'll get your/ our humor.
OP: i'm due next week but they won't let go any further than the 19th, so if she doesn't come on her own by then, i'll be meeting her on the 19th for sure! goodluck!
Good luck with your induction!
Candace, just for the record, it made me giggle. I know it's been talked about a billion times, but I still haven't figured out gifs. I can't do it on my work computer and I only have internet on my phone at home. Otherwise I would love to join in on the gifness. Point is, I appreciate your humor. :
What a great story! Congrats!
I agree 100% im so sick of hearing ladies *** on here!!! I went to my appt yesterday im 39 weeks and the dr said at my nxt appt if my LO is not here we will start talking about being induced..... I started crying as soon as those words came out of her mouth, this is the last thing I want to happ BUT if its what has to be done then im going to do it. I have been doing everything poss to avoid this. So next time before you start judging others stop and think about how they may be feeling first!!!
Who are you? Take your 16 posts and go home. Find a sense of humor. I've explained all this already. If you can't handle the snark, stay off the board.
