I was induced at 39 weeks and it went great. According to the bishops score I was not favorable but it worked out well and no c-section.

I was induced at 37 weeks. DS quit growing in utero at 32 weeks and I was threatened with induction at 35 weeks. OB decided to wait till i was full term to proceed. I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced at the time of induction.

induction went well!! Started off a lil scary due to heart decels and the threat of c-section. after the broke my water and restarted pitocin and found DS's comfy spot, we were golden. admitted at 7am, started pitocin around 8 but stopped due to decels, broke water and restarted pitocin at 11:30, delivered him at 6:19pm after 3 sets of pushes!

I was induced at 39 weeks with DD1 and it went great! I was barely 1 cm dilated. I checked in at 8am, was fully dilated by 12pm but baby was so high still I had to labor down until 4pm and pushed for 2 hours and she was here at 6pm. Going to be induced on June 9th for DD2 and I hope it goes just as smoothly! Goodluck!!!

I was induced at 38w due to "gestational" hypertension (basically I think I always had hypertension, but never had it diagnosed until pregnancy-not sure though) which turned to pre-e, which was why I was induced. I was induced at 4pm on a Thursday (everything was 0-no dilation or effacing), and gave birth (edit: vaginally, no c-section) at 11:44am on Friday!

I was induced at 37w3d because of low amniotic fluid and it went great, despite not being dilated at all at first and lo still being high up. My labor was 36 hours but prob would have been shorter if I got the epidural sooner-- I was on pit for 12 hrs without it, and had only dilated to 3 (I wrote up my birth story on a different post...) once the epi was in though things progressed quickly (~5 hrs) and I only pushed for 40 minutes once I was finally dilated all the way.

I was induced due to gestational diabetes and advanced maternal age. My end result was a c-section, but I have zero regrets. I'm a bit of an outlier here though because delivery scared me immensely and a c-section always was more appealing. I tried for a normal delivery and fully trusted my doctor when the decision to complete a c-section was made.

I was induced one day before my due date. It went great. There was a tropical storm coming and no one wanted a hurricane baby!

I was induced at 36w0d for pre-e and HELLP syndrome. Got Cytotec very early in the morning (along with my epidural - which was a "now or never" situation because my platelets were so low), started pitocin at about 9am, Dr. broke my water at 1pm, pushed for 45 minutes and delivered vaginally at 5:07pm. It was really a great birth experience even though it wasn't what I had imagined. No NICU time for LO and we were both home in a few days.

I hope that things are easy and uncomplicated for you your LO!

I was induced at 37+4, due to high BP. We went in on Weds afternoon, they inserted cervidil overnight but it didn't work so they gave me something else (can't remember its name) but it was a little pill I took every few hours. By 6 pm Thurs I was still only 1 cm. So we set my epidural and foley bulb insertion and pitocin for Friday morning at 6 am. Got my epi, bulbs were inserted and pitocin was begun and by noon I was 6 cm's. I delivered at 9:20 pm Friday night after 1 hour of pushing. The induction was long but successful. I wish we'd just gone straight to the pitocin!

I was induced with #2 at 39 weeks 3 days. I was already 3-4cm dilated and 90% effaced though.

Got hooked up at 11am and DS was born at 3pm. 4 hours from start to finish. Went perfectly and neither of us had any complications.

@spaniellove: Can't believe you're already 38 weeks!! Hope everything goes well for you!

I wasn't induced, but I agree with @sweetooth: I can't believe your little ones are almost here, @kentuckygirl: and @spaniellove: ! Sending you both and so much !
