Best Labor Induction Tips You Want to Know Before You Go

Induction of Labor is when your labor is started by artificial methods. Induction can be started with Misoprostol or Cytotec, a Foley ballon or cervidil. How to Prepare for an Induction of Labor, first setup your mindset for a long time in the hospital. Induction of labor can take a very long time, often multiple days. Also, make sure that you have enough snacks and materials to keep you busy. In the days leading up to the induction, get plenty of rest too!

This video is gold for people going in for induction. I wish you had more people seeing this !!

So helpful knowing what all the options are so you can choose or provide input of what your preferences are even through induction!

This is great to hear! I’m in the UK and hitting 41 tomorrow and have an appointment with my midwife the following morning to arrange my induction date. I’m nervous but just so ready for baby to be here! I didn’t think I would end up here following preterm labour scares so all your info is soothing to hear!

Good informative video. Honestly I did not expect a video from a doula to be so neutral about induction.

[korinetucker]

I'm so glad I saw this video. It's very comforting for me, even more so since I'm getting induced this Sunday at 38 weeks due to having hypertension. Thank you!

*Borrowing my husbands YT, My first induction was long (days), my second I gave birth the same day(night) I got induced♡ I wonder how it will be with number 3 in november🥰 When they breake my water it takes 60 mins until 10cm and giving birth Baby one I had the ballon for 5 houers befire it fell out. then epidural for 2 days, I got pills, did not work, then the IV with petosin, before they broke my water on day 3 With my second the ballon did fall out after 2 houers and I got natural contractions, the same night they broke my water, then giving me an epidural at 10cm (failed).. Way to late and Then I was a mom again♡*

May I ask mamas if cervical checks are necessary? I know it might seem like a slight pain compared to the delivery, but I’ve heard many painful stories from some of when they had their cervix checked for dilation and I just want to avoid being checked altogether and let baby do its thing. All in all, Does my cervix have to be checked or can I deny the procedure?

[Olivia-ndmu]

My dr likes to schedule inductions at 39 weeks. I agreed but I’m hoping I go into labor at like 38 weeks 6 days lol

[kali]

What should I take to hospital when it comes to induction? My cervix is still closed but I’m 40 weeks and 4 days. I’ll be induced on my 41 week and 2 days.

Getting induced with liquid misoprostal solution on Sunday (26th June) at 37+3 weeks! Im actually very scared ... I've had two back to back babies. 2019 and 2021. Just last year ... Do you think my labor will be long this time? Will the misoprostal take a long time to work? Please please respond 🙏🏻❤️ (3rd baby)

[BlackElleWoods]

I’m being induced tonight at 41 weeks & I’ve been struggling with terrible pelvic pain for about 2 weeks now yet there’s no dilation at all. My first child was born at 41.3 weeks, naturally & vaginally. Does pelvic pain = to a positive station? I need some type of hope, I’m extremely nervous :(

[noella]

I do not want to be endused The doctors made me schedule it for 2 weeks after my due date - I am praying it doesn’t come to that !!!!

[llopez]

I'm going to turn off my phone as soon as I go in for induction 😣 and leave it off for a week!!
