re: Induced Labor (First Pregnancy an Terrified)

<< I'm actually in the same boat but not getting induced because of high blood pressure, really only because I'm over my due date. I'm expected to get induced on Tuesday. I went to l&d a couple night ago for what I thought was contractions but come to find out it was nothing. Wasn't dialated or even thinned out at all. Still completley closed and long. Nurse said odds are when I go in on Tuesday I'll need cervidill to jump start my labor then pitocin. I'm really nervous about the whole thing and am a first time mommy.

Well from everyone's reply I will most likely go in for an induction. My 38th week is next weekend (The doctor told me she would most likely do it then anyway because she doesn't see my situation getting any better unfortunately) . Nothing sounded to bad from everyone's stories but I understand everyone different. I just hope mine goes some what smoothly lol. Yall have really helped me with being scared though. An brought some insight on the situation. Thanks
