Avatar n tn Hello ladies! I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and want my baby boy to come already. I don't want the doctor or nurses to give me medicine to induce because I'm totally against medicine and like to do things naturally no matter how the pain is. Can you gals give me some tips to induce naturally? And how to get rid of stretch marks after the baby is born?

790546 tn?1237050228 While yes babies can and do survive before 36 weeks quite frequently, you do not want to try to induce early labor unless your doctor has indicated a medical need to. You need to be at least 36 weeks before most doctors will allow you to continue delivery; in other words, most doctors will give you medicine to stop contractions even if you manage to start them this early.
Avatar n tn I was induced it's a lot like normal labor but a bit more painful and you will have to be hooked up to an IV at all times. They'll do everything the same except you'll get a medicine to start contractions and force you into labor. With this though it does have a high chance in risks like c section but not always. So here is my advice. Do different positions laboring on your back is a terrible position. I have info on positions in my journals.
Avatar f tn My first was induced. The pitocin was horrible and I had back labor. I would not recommend it unless you have to for medical reasons. It's much easier to labor without the medicine making contractions stronger. My Dr also said that they try not to induce with the first so they know that you will dilate.
Avatar f tn Yes pitocin is the medicine they give you via an iv to induce labor they also give it to you if you're water breaks and you aren't progressing

4538600 tn?1360350751 Someone told me about pressure point . Google "pressure points to induce labor" . She told me she did it on her ankles & went in labor 15 mins later.
Avatar f tn So I'm 39 weeks +2 , with my first and the doctor asked me at my last appt if I would like to get induced at 39, obviously i chose not to however I'm starting to feel like I'm not even close... so im starting to consider it. I'm only about 1cm dilated.. I'm really scared to induce because it raises the chances of c section which I am trying to avoid. Can you give you experience & whether induced or not? He aaid he'd start w cervidil too btw.

Avatar n tn my doctor said that unfortunately nothing is going to induce labor. she said u can try walking but only thing that will induce labor safely is the medicine they give u in hospital.
Avatar f tn s the meds they give to induce you) is that if they push too much at once, than labor is much harder than it would be naturally. Otherwise it's just like natural labor.
Avatar f tn They will either start you on a pill that they put behind your cervix to try and thin you out then start you on pitocin and IV medicine that induces labor. Or they will just start you on pitocin that's what they did for me. Then it will force your body into labor. My advice do NOT labor on your back especially if induced. Try other positions make sure to breath do NOT fight those contractions. And have tons of distractions around you.
Avatar f tn Do you trust that for centuries women have trust their bodies to know when to start labor and it has worked. We have the advantage of modern medicine to help us(if you want) once our bodies have decided our babies are ready. Estimate due dates are not an experation date, and range from 38w to 42w. The current recommendations state higher monitoring after 40w, but not to induce until 42w.
Avatar f tn -( I feel like if I choose to induce that I can better plan but I'm worried about the risk of induction. So I guess my question is what have been your experiences with being induced or have you been in a similar situation?

Avatar f tn I have strep b and am worried about goin into labor n not getting the meds in time so i want to make sure i get them in plenty of time....
Avatar f tn I cant risk having a bunch of kids here and going into labor. Lol. If you have legitament reasons to want to be induced, talk to your dr. Some will induce, some wont. Couldnt hurt to discuss it.
Avatar f tn Does anyone have anything that worked for them to induce or help induce labor? Im 38+3 and I can barely walk. I dont think I can physically do this much longer and I dont really want a C section or to be medically induced!
