*spin off* when were you induced and did you need intervention

[SugarSkull]

I was induced at 38 weeks. The amniotic fluid around DS kept getting lower and lower so they induced me the next day. I didn't need anything.

Induced at 41 + 2 foetal distress. Emergency CS.

[Moxy]

Induced at 39+6 due to PE. Had a S&S at 39 which did nothing. For the induction it was gel first, then syntocin then ARM. Ended up with emergency csar as DS didn't descend. Stayed at 3/5ths engaged.

IMO he just wasn't ready to be born. If I hadn't had PE I'm certain it wouldn't have gone the same way (ie I wouldn't have had so much intervention). The way my blood pressure was going though it was either that or a stroke :-/

I was induced at 40+8 had her at 40+9
Had the gel twice I think
S&S
The syntocic (sp?)
ARM
For pain relief I had the pethidine, gas and epi

had forecep delivery with 2nd degree tear

Ds1 - induced with gel at 41+4, epidural and has plus episiotomy.
Ds2 - induced with ARM, nothing else was needed.

I was induced at 39+6 because of PE. I had one lot of gels and an hour and a half labour. I only needed an episiotomy.

[nelle7250]

induced at 38+5 due to gestational diabetes other than being induced no help need quick easy delivery.

[Arusaamatus]

I was induced at 39+1 cuz of IUGR (no growth in 2 weeks) - just gels then syntocinon next day.

Ended up having an epidural after 5 hours of labour which seemed to speed things along (I only really wanted to have gas but it did nothing for me, and I'm a wuss )

But yeah other than the epidural - oh yes bubs was on the ECG the whole time, with that little pin on his head - everything went fine. Just a bit of tearing

[Cluky79]

Induced at 39+2 or 3 or 6 lol can't remember anyways back to the question.
Two rounds of gel
Sentonan (sp ??)
Fetal monitoring
Gas (yucky)
Peth shot because it was too late for an epi (originally didn't want an epi but my labour progressed pretty hard and fast)
Normal vag delivery minor tearing, 6hr labour

Sorry forgot to add, induced due to GD
