My two births were both induced births. DS was due to my waters breaking so I can kinda say I at least went that far myself, then I had antibiotics and syntocin drip. Really only lasted about 8 hours I guess. I had strep B with him and he went into stress a bit as his heart rate was dropping due to the cord around his neck. I only had gas for pain, and was in bed and monitored for the entire labour.
With DD I was induced after being 14 days over. I was a bit more active, and the labour was definitely more intense. I had gel and syntocin. But just with gas and a few showers, I was pretty good with it and coped well.
This time I hope to go into labour naturally without the need for induction. Fingers crossed. But if it came to a decision between them for the sake of my health & bubs I would choose induction without hesitation. Goodluck. Jac
