Good luck hun! Getting induced really isn't that bad, I liked my induction. Try squatting, walking, rocking on a birthing ball, and sex. Those are your best choices. Good luck again and congrats!

crazyhmommy

Thank you both all try it all.

Lol maybe she realizes hey im getting an eviction notice! I can't believe how quickly pitocin works. I hope for a smooth induction for you! I loved mine with my first!

crazyhmommy

@MommyOfTwoPrincesses how long did yours last? These things starting to get really quick too

They had me all hooked up at 8am and broke my water at 9, everything was going fast but around 3pm my labor stalled at 4cm because I wasn't relaxing due to back labor, so I got an epidural around 6pm, fell asleep at midnight I was 9cm, 1am I was fully dilated, started pushing at 1:05 and she was out at 1:42am. If my labor wouldn't have stalled it would've been sooner but I liked it.

crazyhmommy
