[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here — thank you all so much for sharing. I was ultimately induced (foley bulb and pitocin) with my first at 41+1 when my labor wasn’t progressing and it was not ideal at all. In my head, I imagined an early induction to likely be even worse than one when you’re past due! I also hadn’t really heard too many instances of people being induced solely for a “big” baby. I am hoping to avoid an induction, and definitely hoping to avoid a c-section, this time around. My normal OBGYN is Dr. Keller, but I’ve literally not seen her once this pregnancy which I’m fine with since it’s unlikely she’d be the one there when I deliver.

Thank you all again![/quote]

I had a terrible foley/pit induction at term with my first, and a WAY faster/better/easier induction with my second at 35.5 weeks. I think it helped that I knew what to expect (I said no to the foley bulb the second time!) and my body just seemed to kick into gear faster. Plus I went from pushing for an hour-ish to five minutes-ish.[/quote]
