you should text me!!!!! I will keep everyone posted!

That works!

I have a labor buddy on O14, but I'm being admitted 10/15 to be induced at 8am 10/16, which I find to be a bit annoying!

I so appreciate everyone's excitement! We are feeling very loved over here!

I was JUST thinking about this today!!! I can't believe Baby Fish is so close...

Maybe when they admit you on the 15th they'll want to start with a cervix softener before moving to pitocin or something on the 16th? That's how mine was going to be...cervadil at like 11 pm the night before and then the "induction" the next morning. Of course it didn't work out like that and it was straight pitocin a couple of days later.

And sorry if I'm talking out of my ass and you've already explained all of the plans for Baby Fish

<:-P

That's how mine was. Went in at 8 on Christmas and had cervadil and went to "sleep" and then they started pitocin at about 6 or 7 am.

I asked my MFM on Tuesday and he basically confirmed everything you said. My cervix is already "floppy", but depending on the baby's heart patterns over 2-3 hours, they will either insert cytotec or the balloon to speed along dilation. The pitocin will begin around 9am the next day!

I'm a bit scared of the pitocin...

@-)

Oh, and the balloon. That actually freaked me out more, but he told me that in Europe the balloon is placed in the ob's office and patients return after it falls out. That was his way of trying to convince me it's not that bad...

:-?

Did it work?

thesportsgal · October 2014

Try not to be scared...easier said than done, I know. Honestly, I really didn't think pitocin was all that bad - but there's two sides to everything as you well know

I had the balloon with my first and they did my epidural before they inserted it. I didn't feel a thing.
