hopefully3`s poll Show results | Hide results


Pregnancy-poll poll I am due to be induced on Tuesday. I have never had an induction before and am trying to get prepared for the difference between going natrually into labor and being induced. If you have had both can you tell me what the differences were? I do plan on having an epidural... but am so nervous because I have heard it is much more painful! Any comments appreciated! Thanks ladies!

I had to be induced a few weeks ago and it was really easy! i was able to walk with the cervidil they evenj let me take a bath!!! :0) then once i had to start pit i had to stay in bed... but i (after 16 hrs) got and epi and it hurt a little to get it put in at first but not bad at all!! it made the labor enjoyable! :0) good luck! please feel free to ask questions on my page if you need!

i got pit with both kids. the first time i hated it bc my epidural didnt work so i still felt it. this time around i was all set to not have an epi. i didnt want pitocin either but they basically said if i didnt get the pit, i would have to have a c section. i took the pit and the epidural bc i rememeber too well how the pitocin made me with my first. this time i was fine they actually had to turn off the pitocin anyway bc it was stressing the baby. once i had the epi this time, i didnt even feel any of my contractions and i maintained the control i didnt have with my first. i would take the epidural if youre having pit. but everyone is different and you need to do whats best for you.

My cervidil only induction was A LOT easier than my pitocin induction. Natural onset was the easiest. Still managed to do all 3 naturally.

Someone posted almost exactly the same poll an hour or so ago, you should check that one out for more comments :) Oh, and when I was induced, there was no waiting! lol. It happened very quickly for me.

I only have one child, and I was induced. I also had an epideral but the labor was not horrible. The worst part was waiting and wqaiting, like 16 hrs for contractions to start, but when they did they started full blast. Once I was dialated and started pushing, my son was out in 30 min. So maybe the contractions just start stronger with induction vs natural?

  1. I`ve re-thought the moderating of the member-postings. How does this sound? Let`s change it to usage, rather than length of time as a member. Say your first 10 or 20 polls, questions and pictures need to be approved by a Mod or something like that. Someone posting the racist polls and adding the kiddie porn is unlikely to participate as a normal member. Once you are verified as a regular member you`re no longer monitored.
  2. How long did it take you to get pregnant after you got your IUD (Mirena) out?
  3. Twilight valentines for 7 year olds... appropriate or not? DD received a valentine with a very... sultry smoldery Edward on the front and I was just kind of surprised that anyone would buy those for 7 year olds? I know I`m on the conservative side in general on those kinds of things, but this really surprised me!
  4. My daughter is almost 5 months and 3 weeks ago my hair started falling out. I know it`s normal but how long did it last for you?
  5. With all the issues going on with the site maybe we need an updated list on Mods. Obviously Laura is the one to go to but if there is a concern and it needs immediate attention and a Mod is online it may be good to know who is who so you can reach out to them. Mods, can you please post here so we know who you are. (Esp since some profiles names had to be changed because of recent log on issues)
  6. Anyone wanna try http://parentspuzzlepieces.spruz.com/ a free community site I just made? Let me know if you want the password and would want to help add things to it!!
  7. I think with all the posting issues IAP needs to appoint someone to verify all pictures, polls, questions, etc that are posted by new members. Sure, it`ll probably make things slower, but something needs to be done! Many websites have this installed and IAP needs it as well. Members that have been on the site for a certain time can be exempt, but if you are a new member, posts should be monitored. I`m going to copy this suggestoin to Laura and if you agree you should too!! :)
  8. MODS ~ please help me in monitoring the photo pages and other pages. Horrific porn was posted in photos sections and they need to be deleted as soon as they are seen. I reported it to Laura also. TX!!
  9. my 4 yr old has 3 planter warts on his foot,.. any home remedies gals or is this a dr visit?
  10. ok ladies, sry its long but i really need some advice, a year ago my 5 yr old brother was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, over the last year my mom has had a hard time dealing with his diagnosis because there is no cure and all she can do is give him 5 insulin shots a day to keep him alive, she looks at it like march 13th 2011 was the death of her healthy little boy and she woke up with this sick child, well i always tell her she needs to go to counseling to learn how to cope with this but lately i`m more worried about my baby brother, he came home the other day from kindergarten and had a picture of a red headed boy with a knife, 3 people under the ground dead and another one on top of the ground covered in blood, he recently grabbed one of my 15 yr old brother`s pocket knives out and started swinging it at my older brother because they were fighting, and then he told my mother he wanted to be a serial killer when he grows up! he has said before that he wishes he would die, that he didn`t want to wake up the next morning,.....
