[quote=Anonymous]The scheduling aspect is definitely convenient. I had an awful induction experience, but I’m not sure it would have been any better if I’d gone into labor naturally. My cervix was hardly dilated and was very high even after 6 hours of cervidil. Baby was also sunny side up. Who knows if she would have turned on her own if she wasn’t be forced out.

I checked in Thursday night and didn’t give both until Saturday morning, so that’s another reason I was hesitant about getting induced with number 2, because I didn’t want to be away from DD for too long.

My second came “naturally” after a really good membrane sweep the morning before, and my experience was so much better. I was already close to 5cm and baby was very low and face down, so he was already primed to go. We got to the hospital at 2am, and baby was out by 7:30am. He was also about a pound lighter than DC1 with a much smaller head, which definitely helped.

I did hate the anxiety of always questioning whether I was in labor though. I was measuring contractions for two weeks, and then when I actually was in labor, I didn’t need an app at all to tell me it was time to go. [/quote]
