re: Induction at 40 weeks...

I was really hoping to hear some positive stories, so thank you ladies. Positive encouragement makes this a little less scary =)

make sure you eat before you go in, once I got there I couldn't eat. Finally in the morning a nurse snuck me some dry toast but I was starving

We are going out for a light dinner before we go into the hospital.

Went in to be induced Thursday at 6 am. I had to have 2 12hr doses of cervidil. The last one came out at 7am Friday then pitocin started at 8am Friday. Had my son at 11:48pm Friday night.

Loooooong process.
Best thing is to stay relaxed.

dont be scared!! I really liked that everything was under control from the beggining. yea Ive heard horror stories myself but after being induced with my 1st Ive decided I will do it for my 2nd also in Aug.

I was given cervidil around 10pm and that started my labor. I had my son the next day at 12:06pm.
