Thank you for all of the information on inductions! I have preeclampsia and he told me two weeks ago we'd have to induce at 38 weeks. Well, a week ago, when I went in, he told me that we'd have to induce at 35-36 weeks...which means the week after next, or the following week. Not great news! I wanted to talk to the doctor about methods he uses, during my visit last week, but he had to send me immediately to the hospital for monitoring...my bp was up high. So thanks for the info!
everyone should read Ina Mays:Guide to Childbirth. and everyone should watch The Business of Being Born. im so sick of seeing these girls on youtube who don't even know whats going on. Go to the cdc website and do some research! women can be so lazy(and annoying) seeking only their own comfort and convenience. please read INA MAYS:GUIDE TO CHILDBIRTH and watch THE BUSINESS OF BEING BORN
@widowerson I understand your frustration, all we can do is share our own stories of going through childbirth to encourage other women that it can be done. Blessings.
thanks for sharing, they are planning an induction date for me because I am full term, havent gone into labor and am more high risk because of a medication Ive had to be on the whole pregnacy so its good to kno the pros and cons to the different methods, thanks
I was lucky to have you as a friend and be informed when I went in to be induced although thank God they did not try to do anything i did not want. It's great your doing these vids!
Aww...I am glad that I could give you info, so that you could make the decisions for yourself. That is so key to a good labor and delivery in my opinion.
I forgot to mention in my video that I did tell my doctor that I would refuse cytotec and that I he needed to make sure they had cervidil in case I ended up having to be induced. I told him I would go to another hospital for induction (you know, if I had to be induced for whatever reason) rather than use the cytotec. LOL I know that might sound extreme, but after reading research, discussing it's success/complication rates in his practice, and what others went through here, I DON'T WANT IT!
It really scares me to think that there are women out there not being informed. I just want to get the info out there for anyone who'll listen. They can make their own decisions, but first they have to be informed!
When I was telling my doctor how I felt about the Cytotec, I mentioned some other procedures/drugs that I had concerns about or wanted specifically to avoid, etc., as well, and do you know WHAT he said to me? "Wow - you're a handful. I've NEVER had a patient mention any of these things." So I have to say - a large % of the not being informed is that it seems women around my area aren't actively TRYING to inform themselves. I NEVER take anything my doctor says at face value - I follow up. LOL
I'm glad it all went well for you the last time. I hope I go naturally, too. It is definitely my top choice! I think it will all be okay. I just want to be prepared.
In case you did have to be induced...I was induced with pitocin and they broke my water and everything went great. I did have to get an epidural though because sitting the whole time and not being allowed to move around made it hurt horribly. I hope you go into labor naturally though!
very informative, thank you
