I was induced with C...Have no fear with induction. I was induced with Carter and I would LOVE to be induced for baby #2 whenever that comes. Though I would love it more if they let me do it a week early, like you, but instead, I had to go 40 weeks 1 day, which was miserable. Anywho, I love induction. LOVE. You get a good night's sleep the night before (I would suggest asking for an ambien to help you sleep if you can handle it....the anticipation and anxiety of meeting little one the next day will keep you from sleeping so you may need some medication to help). I was put on a pain medication called nubain as soon as they broke my water. I never felt a single contraction. Not a single one. It was awesome. Our family and close friends were all there while I was laboring and it was SO nice to visit and talk to them and not have to be in pain and show others that you're in pain through contractions. If your family is coming up there to be there while you're laboring, it will be great because it will help pass the time. I can't say enough good things about induction. Granted, I had a rough delivery and had to have an episiotomy...but that was all because the umbilical cord was tied around Carter's foot and he couldn't get through the birth canal. Anyway, please have no fear of induction. It really is awesome. But at the end of the day, just have faith in God's plan for how HE wants to bring sweet boy into the world and just roll with his plan! Can't wait to find out the name!!!Justin and Marciehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02109575993022563186noreply@blogger.com
