Great story - so pleased it went well for you.

We too had to be induced with our first due to prexclampsia and it went really well for a first birth as well. We had ARM (already 4cm) which started contractions and then the drip which did kicked them up to 2mins apart but the pain was not unbearable and with a little gas and some help with positioning while pushing our little boy was born 5 hrs after the induction was started.

Diamond and Saram, just wanted to say thanks for sharing your positive induction experiences. I've been browsing the forum this afternoon after OB said this morning he will likely induce in 3 days (I'll be 38wks 6 days) due to increasing blood pressure. I'm disappointed as I've been doing lots of preparation in the hope of a natural, drug-free and intervention-free birth. Reading your stories at least helps to reduce some of the fears I have around Syntocinon/epidurals and other interventions. Thanks.

Thanks for the positive story, I find out on the 1st of Feb if I will need to be induced due to low levels of amniotic fluid.

My DS was also induced and his birth went well, unfortunatly things went bad when it came time to deliver the placenta (but don't know that this was related to induction).

Thanks Again!!!

Thanks so much for sharing positive stories everyone! I am 36 weeks preggers with my first, due to be induced at 38 weeks cos of GD... At my birth classes the midwife was very against inducement and kept telling me how horrible the experience will be for me - NOT HELPFUL!! I was excited to find out that I would be induced early as I am so ready for this to be over with.... I want some real food lol!
