At what week did you go into labor with your children? Were you induced or did you go natural?

recline84 · October 2013

40 weeks 1 day with both girls. My body says DONE at that point I guess! I use a midwife so no technical induction, though she gave me some herbs at my 39 week appt and she stripped my membranes with DD#2.

mcfife09 · October 2013

40w 6d, I was supposed to be induced the next day, but baby made his was in the nick of time! There was nothing natural about my birth experience, but it was perfect anyway

mcfife09 · October 2013

@MayKay12 what about you?? When did you deliver you little ones?

memali26 · October 2013

DD1 - induced at 38w6d, she was born at 39w2d.

DD2 - induced at 38w6d, she was born at 39w.

Both inductions were due to GD.

bunniekrissy · October 2013

I went into labor at 38+3, on the day of my scheduled induction. I was having contractions all day, of varying intensity, and finally at midnight they went ahead and gave me Pitocin to get things moving faster. DS was born at 38+4. I had my membranes stripped twice the week before since I was having blood pressure issues and hoping to avoid induction.

DS 39w5d. I woke up with some cramping which eventually became full on contractions. My water never broke until I pushed and I only pushed 3 times before he was born. DS was born in caul as my water never fully broke and he was still in the sac when he came out.

JAck5209 · October 2013

Contractions started naturally at 38w6d, midwife did a membrane sweep after 2 days of little progress and LO was born 3 hours later at 39w1d.

I was induced after 41 weeks because of low fluid and heart rate decelerations.

Brittlamarche · October 2013

My water broke at 39w4d and he was born the next day. My dr attempted to strip my membranes 3 times. Third time was a charm bc I got up for work the next day and my water broke. I was also a "leaker". Never got a gush. After that I wasn't really contracting so I ended up with pitocin.

erind0213 · October 2013

My water didnt break but leaked at around 39 weeks 5 days. So from there I was induced. dd was born 12 hours later.

clo1982 · October 2013

My water broke spontaneously at 37 weeks exactly. I went in, was put on pitocin as I was only 1cm. The dr came in about an hour later to check my progress, said the baby was breech and did a c-section about 15 minutes later.

snsnyder1 · October 2013

I was induced at 38 weeks and change. Dr agreed there just wasnt anywhere else for the baby to go and I was already soooo uncomfortable. I had had a few contractions was about 40% effaced and at a 3 before I was induced.

DaisyJane11 · October 2013

Induced at 41 weeks. Although when I showed up I was in early labor.

liamandlettie · October 2013

Water broke at 39weeks 5days...didn't have contractions for a while and they gave me pitocin.

matthew24 · October 2013

Induced just shy of 42 weeks. Those last two weeks were pure hell. Thankfully I will not get close to that this time!

HappyWife01 · October 2013

I was induced at 38 & 1 day due to low amniotic fluid.

coldenka · October 2013

37w1d. My water started leaking and contractions started 2 hours later. Four hours after that DS was here.

Apparently he was in a hurry.

Kristen61607 · October 2013

Twins:

Went into PTL at 31 weeks, but they stopped it.

Went into REAL labor at 37w4d. Water broke and labor was fast and furious! Was 7cms when I got to the hospital. Did a c section because of how they were positioned.

huskymomma94 · October 2013

Went into labor naturally at 39 weeks.

ring_pop · October 2013

I went into labour on my own at 39w2d. No membrane stripping or anything, they never even checked me before I was 9cm dilated. He was born the next day.

BrideNamedMeg · October 2013

DD, 39 weeks 2 days.

DS, 41 weeks.

I went into labor on my own both times, no form of induction.

I was induced with dd at 40 weeks 3 days and induced at 40 weeks 4 days with ds. Trying to avoid induction this time. I am sure I will go over 40 weeks again.

ClaireBear90 · October 2013

My water broke at 39 weeks 3 days but DD wasn't actually born until 39 weeks 5 days. Natural all the way.

jjt616 · October 2013

I was 39 weeks and was induced for extremely low amniotic fluid. When my water broke I only had a drop run down to about my knee. No joke! I remember saying "well I guess I did have no fluid in there. I asked for an epi late into the game so when the guy came I was 9 1/2cms. So he wasn't allowed to give me a full dose but rather enough to take the edge off. Since I made it that far I'm really going to try to do it the whole way without an epi with this LO but I won't beat myself up if I can't and get an epi again.

jwls84 · October 2013

I went in to labour naturally at 40w2d. I went for a hot shower and then crawled into bed and had contractions 5 minutes apart lasting a minute long and then maybe 20 minutes later then were 2 minutes apart. It came on quick and fast!

KariB509 · October 2013

I was 39w1d when labor started and gave birth at 39w2d. I started having light contractions and my mucus plug started dislodging (I know, that sounds so damn gross) and then about 11 hours later, right when I got to the hospital, my water broke by itself. Then early the next morning DS was born! I was really glad I have gone into labor a little bit early!

VineyardMel · October 2013

Scheduled c/s at 39wks.

ProudMommy030614 · October 2013

32 weeks induced (3 day freaking process) still endured natural pain med free labor and delivery, 39 weeks natural everything, popped that little guy out in 13 minutes!

SmittyPants · October 2013

My water broke at midnight when I was 40 weeks 3 days. DD was born 23 hours later.

memo9 · October 2013

I went into labor at 40w 3d, 3 hours before my scheduled induction due to GD.

karacakes98 · October 2013

37w1d with DS, 38w4d with DD. Both times labor started on its own.

BabiesFTW · October 2013

40w5d natural

Meganequine · October 2013

40w5d (I think, sad I can't remember the days exactly) Induced with Pitocin and water broken (I had a lot, my doctor was even surprised!). Induction worked and I made it to 8cm, but then took forever to get to 10 cm. Started pushing and cervix swelled back to 8cm. We ended up a C-section. Turns out he was sunny side up and pushing against my cervix.

We'll see what we do with #2. . . if I go into labor on its own I'll have a go at it. If not, we'll schedule a C-section for something after the due date.

megs68 · October 2013

Induced with cervadil and pitocin at 41 weeks, 3 days. It failed and I never should have been induced at all, my body was not at all favorable to it. Ended up with a c/s 2 days later. Waited until 41 weeks, 6 days with DD, hoping for a VBAC. Never even got to 1cm so I had a RCS. I cook babies a REALLY long time! So this time I am trying again for a VBA2C and will be waiting until 42 weeks again if I have to!

CactusGirl · October 2013

Water broke and I went into labor naturally at 38 weeks.
