How to get doc. to induce labor?

janellepruett

Please no judgment. I am a first time mom and have been very uncomfortable in my pregnancy and have had several visits to L&D because of contractions. I have been giving steroids to prep baby's lungs because of preterm labor. Here I am at 38 &6 and I am having terrible contractions. I went in and I am dialated to 2.5 and they are about every 5 min. I was sent home because I was not progressing but they have not let up.
I am scheduled to see the doc. Here tomorrow to check on baby to see how labor is progressing that will make 2.5 days in labor. I would like to be induced when I go in to help speed things up. Are there any magic words that will make a doctor induce?

I was like that with my second baby and had contractions for about 3 days until finally it was a good 2 mins in between. I would ride it out it sounds like u will end up delivering naturally if u are already having contractions every 5 mins.

I got induced with my first due to the hospital rules about going over my due date time...well I would not recommend doing that it sucked compared to a more natural birth.

Good luck!

Sounds like you don't need to be induced, take a long walk have sex. Try things to get it moving yourself.

I asked to be induced with my second and third baby. Due to them being big babies for myself but I was day(s) past my EDD already. I personally would just wait it out. Baby should be coming soon. Even though I had great experiences with inducement, not everyone does. I would just simply ask your dr. Some have certain policies.

I know its miserable. I'm so sorry. I was in the stop-start-feels-like-early-labor stage from 37 weeks to 41 weeks with my son.

I'm so sorry to tell you this, but there are no magic words when you don't have a medical necessity to induce. Being miserable is not an acceptable medical reason to induce early. I really really really do feel for you because I understand that misery and I've been here.

Unfortunately, you have to cry your tears and make it until at least 40 weeks. My OB wouldn't even talk induction until I started having Pre-E type symptoms and BP weirdness at 41 weeks. As I've said, I really do understand how you feel. I just had to the same: suck it up and keep on trucking.
