why i got induced✨
why i got induced and why i NEVER will again.
my day started off as any other day, i got married on the 7th of feb turned in my marriage license and then went to my doctors appointment LOL
on that day they were like hey girly you have high blood pressure and im like oh okay soooo what? and they were like yeahhhhh go over to L&D.. and i was like okay?? they didn’t say much. so i just went with my now husbandddddd and they were talking so fast so much happening then suddenly they’re like okay girl you’re gonna get induced and you’ll be having a baby. i was like oh umm okay? not what i had in mind. but as a FTM i had no clue what was happening. i was so uneducated on everything so i just went and trusted these people..
hooked to monitors and all that jazz they finally started the induction process. i was like oh okay this is cool this is fine. i’m vibing im laughing im dancing. then next day im not so much vibing or dancing at this point bc im FED UP… i ended up getting 3 doses of f******l, epidural, ballon catheter thing and just everything you could throw at someone giving birth i had basically. so many doctors and nurses and “hey mama” LIKE GET OUT😭
finally day 3 of being there well day 2, at abt 7pm they were like hey soooo you arent progressing you’re stuck at 6cm. i’m like girl what. they were like you can keep playing around on this peanut ball orrrrr you can get the knife.. and i was so distraught bc this is NOT what i had wanted at all. this wasn’t the birth plan this wasn’t it..
i gave birth and wasn’t allowed to see my baby til i was in recovery and that was just terrible. i missed my golden hour i missed holding him, i missed feeling him, latching was terrible everything was just terrible.
i will never ever ever ever get induced again for this story, and you’re more likely to end up with a c section when you get induced, it’s literally too much on your body sending it into over drive and fighting against its self.
also forcing your baby out when they’re not ready .. insane. absolutely insane. and i can say that bc i did that. but i didn’t do it again and i will never do it again. 0/10 never getting induced again and if you can avoid it, you should.
your baby will come WHEN THEYRE READY!
YOU WONT BE PREGNANT FOREVER!!
ITS OKAY TO GO PAST YOUR “DUE DATE”
DUE DATES ARE ESTIMATIONS!!
it’s just not worth it to me.. and i wish more people felt this way.
edit: this is about my first pregnancy, my second pregnancy went nothing like this and im immensely grateful 🤍

Inducing labor is a significant decision in pregnancy, often reliant on medical recommendations. However, many expectant mothers, like myself, find themselves unprepared for the emotional and physical toll it can take. High blood pressure and other medical factors can lead to an induction recommendation, but it’s essential to understand what that entails. Many women echo similar sentiments about the process being overwhelming and fraught with anxiety, especially for first-time moms. It’s crucial to have a birth plan but also to remain flexible and informed about the possibilities of interventions such as epidurals and the use of balloon catheters. Moreover, there’s a growing conversation about the risks associated with scheduled inductions. Research suggests that induced labor can lead to higher rates of cesarean sections. This is often due to complications arising when the body isn’t ready for labor, including emotional and physical stress for both the mother and baby. In my case, dealing with post-birth disappointment, such as missing my baby’s golden hour, opened my eyes to the need for advocating for one’s birth choices. It’s imperative for women to feel empowered to voice their preferences and educate themselves about the natural labor process. Pregnancies are uniquely personal, and allowing the body to go into labor naturally can foster a more positive birth experience. For those currently pregnant, it’s also important to remember that due dates are simply estimates. Each pregnancy has its timeline, and being patient can sometimes lead to a better outcome for both mother and child. If you’re facing the decision of labor induction, weigh the pros and cons and consider speaking with healthcare professionals who support informed consent and choice.
The doctors and nurses not giving you privacy is honestly infuriating. Why’s that shit so common too???😒
