Positive induction stories......

Anyone have some postive induction stories to share with me? I am going in tonight to start mine and I am having my whig-out moment. I was induced with DD and it went fast 7hrs start to finish but I was already 3 cm dilated and only had pitocin. THis time around as of thurs I am only a fingertip and they area starting me on cervadil. Plus I have PIH...so I am concerned about my BP. I made the misstake of googling last night and saw so many horror stories that I freaked a bit....so I am hoping to find some good ones out here!!!

    no personal experience but my friend had a successful induction when her water broke 3 weeks before her due date. I am sending you lots of positive vibes and thoughts for a fast and smooth L&D! I know you've had a rough pregnancy and you did such a great job of keeping your LO in the womb for this long!

    good luck, I'll be looking for updates on here and FB!

    Good luck with everything!

    I was induced for pre-e and it was a positive experience.  The cervadil caused my water to break the night before the scheduled induction, and so for awhile they thought I could go natural from there.  But, by 4 am it was apparent that my body had other plans, so I was given the pitocin at 5:45 a.m.  I asked for an epidural around 8(?) (I was on mag and kind of out of it, so the time may be off) and DS was born at 11:38 a.m. 

    I don't have anything to compare it to, but I thought the whole thing went pretty smoothly!  Again, good luck today!

    I was induced and while I had a long labor, I was very comfortable most of the time (yay, epidural!) and everything went very smoothly. I was very apprehensive about it as well, because I was less than a centimeter dilated and I didn't know what to expect, but everything worked out great. I'm sure everything will be fine for you, I'll be thinking about you!! Smile

    Good luck! I wasn't dilated at all either, but cervadil alone kick started my labor. They placed it around 11 pm, I had the epidural around 2:30 am, and DD was born at 6 am. I never had pitocin or any other "interventions" besides my strong request (you could probably consider it begging) for an epidural.

     Also, I was told that because it was so fast with DD that if I had a second, it was likely to be faster. Maybe that will be true for you if your first came so fast during an induction!

    Keep us posted!

    i was induced for PIH, it went great. I was dilated, so I only had to do pitocin. They started the pitocin at about 8, I labored all day and had my DS at 11:52pm. It was a long day, actually boring at times, but not bad. we brought our portable dvd player, watched movies, napped, tried to make the best of it. I did go without an epidural, had one does of IV pain meds a few hours before DS was born, but that's it. It was a good induction:)

    I had to be induced b/c my son was late.  I had cervadil administered at night and pitocin in the a.m.  I progressed beautifully and both my heart rate and the baby's were always perfect.   I did end up needing a C, but it had nothing to do w/the induction.  Good luck!!

    Best wishes to you for an easy induction.

     I was induced and had the cervadil put in the night before and then started pitocin the next morning.  I made it about 6 hrs. on pitocin before needing the epidural and then labored for another 6 hrs. until I was fully dilated (not feeling a thing though!) and then after 3 quick pushes DS was out.  It really was a very easy process.

    I had cervadil the night before.  It only caused minor cramping for a few hours.  The potcin was started the next morning around 6:30am.  Not much happend - just some cramping.  The dr went to go break my water (after epi) and it broke on her way in :)  

    I only had break though pain around 8pm - I went from 2cm to 10 in less than an hour :(  He was born around 11pm.  Besides being bored and ready to have the baby around noon - it was pretty easy.
