DD seems to be heading that direction also so I'm expecting to be induced with her around that time as well.</p> <p>However, I absolutely loved my L&amp;D experience once we got over the initial scares/hurdles. I can only hope DD's L&amp;D will be similar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397991 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 09:38:43 +0000 snowjewelz 2397991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes at 39 weeks due to GD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397787 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 02:48:43 +0000 Pumuckl 2397787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but it was a close call with LO1. Had he waited one more day to make his entrance an induction would have happened. (Born at 41+2) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397727 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:21:08 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2397727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced at 37 weeks due to severe pre-e. Induction failed though and I ended up with a c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397721 Wed, 23 Dec 2015 00:09:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2397721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced at 38 weeks due to severe pre-e. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397630 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 21:03:53 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2397630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I was induced after my due date because my blood pressure was rising. That's common with donor conception pregnancies. Since I conceived via FET there was no question on my dates. I knew she was fully cooked and was stressing about her going past due and having problems like passing meconium. My induction went great! She was born on 40+3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397620 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:48:48 +0000 Truth Bombs 2397620@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kind of? With my second my water broke at 37+6. I was contracting but not regularly and not strong enough. Since my water was broken and I was GBS+ they had to give me pitocin to get things moving along. When I arrived at the hospital I was 3cm and 50% effaced. 14 hours later I was only 5cms and 75% effaced. The doc came to check on me and I had an emotional break down because I was so upset that I wasn't making any progress. And my epidural kept failing on my left side so I was in a lot of pain. Plus the baby kept having decels that scared me. The doc offered to do a c section and go ahead and get him out if I wanted her to, but she said she didn't think it was necessary. Well, apparently the emotional break down was all we needed because in the next 33 minutes I went from 5cms to baby delivered. With only half an epidural. It was crazy. Baby came out with the cord wrapped around his neck twice so that's why he was having decels. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2/page/2#post-2397573 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 20:05:45 +0000 sapphire 2397573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went late so I thought I might have to, but I went into labor on my own a few days before the induction was scheduled. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397567 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 19:55:57 +0000 sera_87 2397567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First two no, 3rd yes. it didn't do anything - no dilation or contractions &amp; they were seeing enough decelerations to be concerned so we went with a c-section.<br /> And now all future babies will be a scheduled csection at 35 weeks. No more labouring for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397500 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:27:10 +0000 lovehoneybee 2397500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks because she was breech, but if she had flipped at the last minute (or if I had agreed to try an ECV and she had flipped) they would have induced right away because she would have been in an unstable position. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397496 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:26:08 +0000 winniebee 2397496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 no but DS2 yes due to IUGR </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397481 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 18:01:24 +0000 misolee 2397481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced at 41+1 bc baby was measuring really big. She did end up being 9 lbs. at this point, I was looking forward to an end date! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397478 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:56:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 2397478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1: Induced at 38 weeks due to pre-e<br /> 2: Induced at 40+1 because my doc was really ready to induce me (he wanted to the week prior with no medical reason so I said no) and I was ready to be done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397472 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:53:30 +0000 mauxie 2397472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced with my first at 38w2d. My water had started leaking mid-day and by late night, I was still not experiencing real contractions. I delivered in the wee hours the next morning.</p> <p>Contractions started naturally with my 2nd and labor/delivery was quick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397464 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:37:13 +0000 travellingbee 2397464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Spontaneous delivery at 40w4d with #1 but I have a scheduled induction for 40w with this one partly because of my age and partly by choice. I have a very favorable cervix and she said I could if I wanted to. I'm just so done being pregnant. I hope I go into labor before that but she felt it wouldn't take much to push me into labor. Fingers crossed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397461 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:34:46 +0000 hellobeeboston 2397461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced 10 days overdue with baby #2. Had a spontaneous labor with baby 1 the day after my due date. </p> <p> It was sort of a mini induction though. When I arrived I was having mild contractions about 7 min apart. They gave me a quarter dose of misoprostol, I walked some laps around the hospital and went into full labor. Once strong contractions started I had the baby about 5 hours later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397454 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:22:46 +0000 BSB 2397454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 34 weeks because my water broke at 28 weeks. They wanted me on hospital bed rest until 34 weeks. I made it the whole 6 weeks! After 34 weeks, there's a higher risk of infection so it's safer for the babies to come out then stay in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397452 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 17:17:52 +0000 lilyann 2397452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced due to GD with my 1st. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397405 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:29:39 +0000 SweetiePie 2397405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 37 weeks due to Cholestasis. It's highly likely for any future pregnancies as well. (Though the first ended in c section so I'd likely just have another c section at 37 weeks). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397402 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:25:00 +0000 sarac 2397402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced at 41+1 for low fluid and low movement. Hated it, but I did have a vaginal birth and eventually a healthy child. But it was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397383 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 16:10:27 +0000 PawPrints 2397383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avoiding an induction was very high on my list of hopes for my birth. I was glad I didn't have any issues with GD or blood pressure or anything, so I went into labor naturally. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397340 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:46:04 +0000 AngelicOne 2397340@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was at 38w4d (had him at 38w5d) due to high BP. They said it was gestational hypertension. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397294 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:24:01 +0000 yin 2397294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No induction but I was high risk with both (GD). With LO2 the doctor wanted to induce at 39w, but I convinced her to let me go to 40 since all of my ultrasounds and check ups were good. I went on my own at 39w 1d. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397280 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 15:17:32 +0000 BelugaBean 2397280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 41+3 due to LO2 not being reactive enough at my NST and she wouldn't move her abdomen like they needed her to at the ultrasound. They started pitocin at 10:30 in the morning, broke my water at 2:45pm, and she was out by 6pm. I was able to avoid an epidural like I had wanted and just had the IV meds. So even though I was hoping they would let me go to 42 weeks before inducing, it was actually a pretty good experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397253 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:57:38 +0000 jape14 2397253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced at 41+1. My practice will schedule an induction during 41-42 weeks and the way scheduling worked out, that was the best day. (They don't do inductions on the weekends and my due date was right before Labor Day so I had limited days to work with.) I had an ultrasound at my 41-week appointment and the fluid level was borderline low so I kept my induction appointment as scheduled. It went really well and overall, I had a really positive induction experience! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397234 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:48:35 +0000 QBbride 2397234@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was induced with #1, my water broke and I was GBS+ and contractions didn't start on their own overnight. </p> <p>My induced labour/delivery was a million times more difficult than my spontaneous L&amp;D. So much so that I would probably refuse induction if there is a next time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397195 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:17:19 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2397195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced with DD1 at 39w4d due to PIH and a LGA baby. She wasn't born until 40w0d by emergency c-section. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397194 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:16:18 +0000 yellowbird 2397194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Induced at 39 weeks with dd due to PIH </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/were-you-induced-2#post-2397190 Tue, 22 Dec 2015 14:15:56 +0000 ineebee 2397190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 37.5 weeks. Pre-eclampsia and IUGR. The placenta was no longer delivering nutrients to the baby and he was at the 0th percentile for growth! So they had to get him out so they could get him fed. He's wonderful and healthy now! </p>
