Don't be scared, my cousin was induced in march and her labor and delivery went smooth. Yes, her labor lasted a long long time (22 hours) but she said it was nice not having to worry about timing contractions, going to the hospital at the wrong time, and her water breaking at home. :) so think positive :) there are good things about it and bad things, but at the end, you'll have your beautiful baby :) so who cares if it takes a long time, you've come 40 weeks... What's 20 more long labor hours? :)

Have they stripped your membranes??? That sometimes is a better method that is natural, they offered me to be induce and I refused yes the baby comes faster(with stronger contractions) but it can also backfire and end up wit a c-section.


Honestly try the natural induction first sex, squatting, mild exercise walking etc I hear stimulating your breast but the almost the same as being induced with man made products...


Exercise balls are the best for doing squatting and puts less stress on you/yourlegs but may help put enough pressure on your cervix to start a natural labour..

Both my labours were under 5 hrs but I went natural and honestly walking when you have braxton hicks also helps the process im not guranteeing a short labour just trying to offer some advice to help you
