Did Your Induction End in a CSection?

bacorrea · April 2014

I know that many ladies still haven't given birth. I also know many many factors play into a Vaginal v. CSection birth. I very well could be induced today (possible pre-e), just wondering where everyone stands on this so far?

Yes. My progress stalled at 5cm and it had been too long since they broke my water so we had to do the C-section.

MapleLeafMama · April 2014

No for both pregnancies/inductions.

JBellacqua84 · April 2014

Yes it did. I was progressing fine but the baby was presenting wrong (face first).

I stalled at a 6 after 34 hours. I asked for the csec, but not sure how long they would have let me go. My water had been broken several hours earlier too.

sarlimes34 · April 2014

yes it did. my body did not make progress and my little guy went into distress when they tried to increase my pitocin. we felt it was best for our situation

thomas930 · April 2014

Answered for previous pregnancy - no it did not.

No, I was stuck at 2 cm with the pit until they broke my water. His head finally came down and I progressed just fine after that.

Mine did. My babe stayed at a -3 station through induction and failed to progress. He was a big baby and had a big head (15 cm! Average is 13-13.5) My pelvis couldn't accommodate. We made the decision very early to with the c section and it really hasn't been a bad recovery.

I was stalled at a 4 for 10 hours after breaking waters. So yea cs it was.

ksulli · April 2014

No. I was somewhat slow to progress even after breaking my water. About 7hrs after breaking my water we discussed stopping the pitocin to let my body rest/re-set & starting again a few hours later- I was concerned that would lead to a c-sec so I asked if I was on the clock from my water breaking and my OB said I could go beyond 24 since I didn't have GBS, water was clear, baby was doing fine and I had no fever or other indication of infection.

I answered for DD1's pregnancy. My water broke at 7:30 am and I stalled at a 4 by 3 pm. At that time I kept laboring until 6:30, but was taken into a c-section at 7 due to no progress and heart decels. Turns out she had turned her at sometime in the middle of the night and she had gotten stuck. I started the induction at 10 pm the night before by using the pill that they insert, and pitocin was started at 5 am.

mandacann · April 2014

No. I was induced for pre-e but they only gave me pitocin and everything went really smoothly. Baby was out in less than 10 hours.

katiedidthat · April 2014

No. But when my water broke at 8pm I was 3cm and 80% and baby's head was already engaged. They started pitocin at 6am and didn't have to turn it up and DS2 was born at 830pm.
Technically I guess I had an augmentation, not an induction, but the contractions didn't start until I'd had pitocin.

olenkapdx · April 2014

Yes. I had FAST progress with just misoprostol, but baby's heart rate dropped dramatically after I had been pushing a while. Turned out she had the cord wrapped around her neck and was sunny side up, so I was glad I went for the c-section.

jenskurn · April 2014

Previous pregnancy- yes.

CalinAZ · April 2014

Yes, mine did, but I think it was 100% because I was induced at 38+1 due to pre-eclampsia. My body was in no way ready to be in labor (started at 0 dilation and only 50% effaced), and needed a substantial amount of drugs to kick start contractions and keep me safe from the pre-eclampsia. After 4 days of induction, my baby stopped handling pitocin, and my body wasn't able to contract without it, so we needed a c-section.

I think if your body is ready for labor, and there aren't other health concerns, inductions can and usually do go great.

deidremaria · April 2014

Cervix started swelling when I went into active labor. Plus baby went in distress because I got a fever

avidkeo · April 2014

I. Voted ds. Yes I ended up with a. C-section but not because of the induction. Lo was having episodes of bradycardia before starting. When I didn't progress after second round of gel and her decelerations got worse we decided to get the section.
