Getting induced next Monday but I would really love to go into labor naturally. Any tips to induce labor? I’m 38 weeks today.

Fear of an induced labor
If you are afraid that having induced labor will break the spell of this long-awaited magical moment, rest assured that there are specific medical reasons for this.
- If your pregnancy extends beyond the theoretical term, i.e. 41 weeks of amenorrhea, the gynecologist may decide to induce labor.
- At the end of pregnancy, the placenta ages and can no longer perform its role properly, which means that there are risks for your baby's health, from growth arrest to lack of oxygenation.
- High blood pressure during pregnancy can also be a reason to induce labor.
- In all cases, close monitoring is suggested and delivery is only induced if there is a risk to your health and/or that of your baby.

For my daughter they used a water balloon. It was flat until they got past her feet, then filled with water it annoyed her to come out and it hurt while being filled with water. But I pushed all of it out

Is labor longer and more painful when induced? First time mom and I'm being induced Monday.. I've heard it's way worse then normal labor so getting very nervous
Chloe
My experience was pretty bad. My water was leaking and my cervix was hard as a rock not even dilated. Went through 13 hours of massive contractions off that med that starts with a p to induce n make me dilate didn’t work. Finally after all that pain they
Finally give me a pill to soften my cervix witch they should have done in the beginning. An hour goes by I’m in hella pain had to get an epidural finally got to calm down in relax. I started to dialed so fast
I had my baby 6 hours later in 10mins of pushing.

Not going to lie, I have the same anxiety and fears! It’s one of those things where I feel most people think “that won’t happen to me” until it does.
