With my first I wasn't induced as such but I did have to go on to the syntocin drip to get things moving.
But Being first time round, I would have just done as I was told. My OB told me a week before my due date that he wanted to induce me if I didn't go into labour on my own on my due date. I did question him as too why because he had only told me at the visit before that babys should come on there own & how a baby born on its own at 37 weeks would do better then the baby born at 40 that was induced. But his reasoning was that he felt that DS#1 was too small to leave to his own accord & that after 40 weeks the chance of stilbirth for low weight baby's increases. So of course I would just do as I was told after being told that.
I did go home & reaserch everything about inductions etc & refused any pain management till I was in transition, then I gave into being pressured & tried the gas as a comprimise to the pethedine that the midwife was tyring to force me to have. In the end I had a 7lb 8oz baby. So he was not small at all! Not huge but not tiny to warrent needing to be induced. But being first time & being told what I was by my OB, who was I to question him further?
