POSITIVE Induction Birth Story-longish

[~Gee_Whizzy~]

Thanks for the positive feedback ladies

I too had a very positive induction with my first - Active Labour 5.5 hrs. Only a shot pethadine (which in hindsight was asked for during transition) and 5 mins of pushing.

I am now booked in for a induction in 2 days time with my 2nd - actually looking forward to it. This time I am already 3cm dilated and a very favourable cervix so it will only being an ARM and that's all. I have a very understanding OB who agrees with my 'as little intervention as possible' approach and will do as I ask. Im sure that only add to the positive experience, when your listened too and feel empowered.

I agree that both sides of the story needs to be told. With my first, I could only find 'horror' stories and was sooooo surprised when things went so well.

It certainly can happen..........

Thanks Gill,

Mine was positive too.

I was 10 days overdue.

They tried Cervadil twice and then the gel, (Over 2 days) and then broke my waters on the 3rd day and she was born 2hrs and 50 minutes later, weighing 9lb 12oz. Did tear but healed well and was no drama. I was leaning over a beanbag on the bed when she came out.

Thanks for sharing your positive induction story.
I too had a positive induction, so they don't all end in horror stories.
My labour was only 2 hours and 5 minutes!
