Getting induced

Hi mumsies! I'm at week 38, and I've been given another week to try to naturally dilate before I get induced. I'm afraid, cos I've heard horrible, painful stories from those who have been induced. If you have been induced before, how was the experience like for you? What part of the induction hurt so bad? For those who weren't induced, what helped with natural dilation? I know sex, squats, walking and curb-walking help, and I'm gonna do them daily for the next 7 days 😂 Edit (update!): I didn't get induced! I had my bloody show at week 38 day 2, after a cervical check, and had contractions the next day. Went to admit myself on Sunday afternoon cos I was having contractions 6-10mins apart. Stayed overnight and was guided by nurses to do lots of walks around the ward and also do deep sumo squats (5x10 secs each)! I feel that helped. I had also been drinking the raspberry leaf tea as well as dates daily. Our bundle of joy came out on 1 April! 😍

I was induced 3 times and only dilated 2.5cm, which didn’t even hit the minimum 3cm to burst my water bag to give birth naturally. I feel no pain or contractions just very very mild cramp and super tired of waiting 48 hours. LOL. I didn’t have emergency csect. Just a normal csect and baby was out in 15 mins.

They gave me laughing gas when I was waiting for for the operating room to be ready for csect. But I didn’t use it. I wasn’t in pain. I also didn’t get epidural for my csect. It was another kind of injection that works the same as epidural but the needle is much much much more smaller. I think it’s called spinal blocks/injection.

i did a risky thing which i push when the nurse told me not to do so. but i quietly did for my 3rd and 4th pregnancy. at the same time, the doctor also help to open up my cervix by stretching. now i pregnant with my no5.

congrats on your bundle of joy!

May I know what is your baby weight?

Baby was at 3kg at 35weeks, so I'm guessing now he could be close to 3.5kg? Not so sure though..
