[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can have a natural delivery (i.e. - pain med free & vaginal) with an induction. I've done it 4 times. You need to have a doula/ a good team to help you cope with the pain toward the end.[/quote]

This is true, but you should also make sure you're up and moving around. If baby is not dropping and not ready, I hate to say this, but it usually means with first time moms that baby is just not ready. Once you force things, you not only have to be moving around to reduce pain, but you also need to be moving around to open up your body and get baby into position. Can your OB tell which way baby is facing? Check out the website spinning babies over the weekend to look into moves and positions you can use during labor to help maximize good position before and during labor. A friend of mine was induced and the nurses told her she'd have to stay in bed all night once the cervadil is in. It sounds like your doctor is going to go to bat for you that you can do cervadil minus pitocin and see what happens with your cervix and if she means it, this is FANTASTIC. Get the cervadil going and that alone might put you into labor. If it does, and you feel antsy, by all means listen to your body and not some nurse telling you that you need to be in bed because the monitor is slipping, etc. Get up, walk around, get on hands and knees, do what your body is telling you to do. This will help you minimize the chances of surgical intervention becoming necessary by ensuring your body can open up for labor. Remember, you were designed to do this. Sure, sometimes things happen and thankfully surgery is there if you really need it, but MOST of the time, the body can do it.[/quote]
