hi i just delivered my 1st baby girl, i induce 38wks ,induce is like a waiting game... the nurse will insert a induce pill in yr vagina and u juz wait for dilation and contraction. For my case, my dilation open very slow but contraction is very close so i take epidural and im very glad to get epidural thru the whole progress...

Didn’t work. Upset that the dr made me think it would make things progress faster but actually what for? In the end c section with only 14 hrs of labour because baby became distressed from the inducing medication and pooped. I would say tell the dr to let things happen naturally instead of working on their time.

I induced, by doctor poking my waterbag. It's not that painful, but harder to push the baby out because it's not the time yet... but I have to push very hard for the sake of my baby. It's extremely tiring

37 weeks. Have to push especially if induced cause not the time yet for the baby to come out, and that's what the doctor asked me to... and yes, it's tear. I have 18 stitches.

Painful! That's all i can say. 1st child induced at 38 weeks, 23 hours of labour. 2nd child, also at 38 weeks, 4 hours of labour. Both normal and i didn't use epidural.

It wasn’t as horrible as some pple had experienced. Went in at midnight, delivered by 235pm. Nurses/midwives were experienced and service was good :)

Me too! But my experience wasnt as smooth sailing as yours. Guess every pregnancy is different. Lucky U!

I induced by breaking waterbag. Am not a first time mum, so this helped start labour. Baby out within two hours. Didn’t need meds

Induce is terrible pain.... heard it is worst than natural. Thus gonna try to go natural if possible for 2nd one.

Don't induce. Go for long walks! Confirm will help bring forth your labour date
