[quote=Anonymous][[b]quote=Anonymous]My induction was incredibly painful, long and unpleasant. It was necessary because of PROM[/b] but I would never recommend it unless necessary, especially since you have a history of quick, easy natural birth! Seems crazy to me to induce when you probably don’t need it. I’d schedule induction for 39+6 and hope it happens sooner naturally.[/quote]

I'm a PP who had my first via induction due to PPROM.  I've been told that pitocin contractions are far worse after membrane rupture and can confirm, at least in my case.  My first induction was excruciating, since I didn't receive pitocin until after my water broke and there was no amniotic fluid left to "cushion " the contractions.  My 2nd induction was so much better, even with the pitocin.  I asked to receive an epidural before the midwife broke the amniotic sac, and the most I felt from the pitocin-aided contractions was similar to period cramps.  I was really surprised at the difference between the 2 experiences.[/quote]
