[quote=Anonymous]OP do you have any previous experience with inductions? Do you have reasons to not trust your doctor?

But then I don't have any particular beliefs about "interventions." If I needed a C-section then so be it. I welcome all the interventions to help me get through labor so I have a different perspective from the "INTERVENTIONS ARE BAD" crowd.

I had 2 inductions, first one at 40 week and second one at 39. Water broke spontaneously the first time but I had no contractions nor dilation so I needed to be put on pitocin. Smooth labor and delivery after I got my epidural. Pushed for 30 mins after I got to 10 cm.

2nd one had to be induced earlier at 39 due to a mild medical issue. I guess I could have been like "NO." But I decided to trust the doctor; also, I doubted that my body could go into labor naturally even if my water broke on its own like before. So I went for a final check at 39 weeks, and learned that I was not dilated at all, nor did I have any contractions or signs of labor. I thought there must be a high chance of a C-Section because it didn't seem like my body was ready. I didn't mind at all. If it happens then it happens. Anyways, long story short, the ripening drug worked like a charm! Labor and delivery went very well after my epidural. Pushed for 2 mins.

Don't know the rate of failed inductions for whatever reasons but needless to say I had great experiences with it both times. [/quote]
