Yay - my turn! I'm scheduled to start my induction this Thursday evening (6/11) with cervadil. I have one last appointment with the OB on Wednesday evening to confirm the plans. I'll still be trying all that I can throughout the week to not be induced - we'll see how that goes.
C-section scheduled for June 15 at noon with my favorite doctor from the practice! My last prenatal appt is Wednesday night and my last day of work is Friday. Pat of me really wants to make it to the scheduled date; part of me hopes she'll come sooner cuz I am getting SOOO uncomfortable! Oddly, my OB practice doesn't do cervix checks or ultrasounds towards the end, so I have no idea where I stand as far as the odds of her coming early. It's a fun little mystery!
Induction scheduled for noon on Tuesday (6/9). I was due 6/4 and baby hasn't dropped and I've had no contractions or signs of impending labor. I woke up this morning really feeling depressed about it. Like, almost on the verge of tears a few times. I can't even read the birth stories that have been recently posted. I don't know why I'm so upset, but I really thought I would have the baby in my arms by now. DS came fast at 39 weeks after a membrane strip so I thought this one would go even easier. It's just really disappointing. Sorry for the negative post
I assume I go here, at this point. Soft induction scheduled for Tuesday morning (39+3) unless LO decides to finally make a real move before then. Doc will start me with a high volume enema then give me an hour or so to see if that gets anything going. If not, he'll break my waters. From there he'll give me 6-8 hours on my own and, if nothing happens, I will have to accept pitocin. I'm not worried about the water breaking doing nothing though. When they broke my water with DS I started contractions immediately. (Granted, I also had pitocin first that time.) I'd just rather not have to break my water to kick it into gear. On one hand, I"m sad I won't be laboring at home to start. But on the other, I'm still fairly confident that this plan will allow me to avoid meds and any additional intervention and I'm relieved there is an end in sight.
Andplusalso, Tuesday is my birthday and I can't think of a better way to spend it than meeting this baby finally.

Induction scheduled for Thursday morning. My doc thinks I'll go before then, so it's backup, but she also thought I'd go last weekend, so I'm losing faith in her predictions.
The induction will be pitocin followed by water breaking so I don't have to worry about a 24 hour clock, although with how much farther along I am than last time, and how quickly I went after my water broke, and the fact my doctor won't be there, if I make it to Thursday I'm going to try to talk the on-call into just breaking my water. So far these non-pitocin contractions are SO much easier to deal with than the pitocin induced ones.

I'm assuming I go here. I'm tentatively "scheduled" for induction on Weds 10 June if I don't go into labor before then. However my OB didn't actually have an opening at the hospital that day so she said she'd just have me show up and fit me in....
Widget123, tiffbot, Thanks ladies. Saturday was a really low point. I'm feeling better but I'm still pretty mopey. I called the doc first thing this morning to see if he would check me just one more time, but the woman I spoke with said there was nothing available and told me to just go to my induction tomorrow. I'm trying to come to terms with it! I would be feeling a lot better if I was having contractions or something but I'm actually feeling better physically than I did 3 weeks ago, which makes no sense. I know, either way baby will be here soon so I need to focus on that!

IM BACK!! My dr realized that I'm insulin dependent for all meals and night time (and still not all within range) and moved my induction to the 14th!! Baby should be here on the 15th if all goes well:) FX that is does;)

What time are they starting your induction on the 14th? I only ask bc when I was induced with DS it was 11 hours from start of pit to when he was born. Though from most of the experiences on our board seems it's taken quite a while.

They're having me go in at 6pm...as much as I'd love a quick labor, I'm not holding my breath that she'll be here on the 14th;)

Everytime I have been induced with pitocin i had LO in less then five hours but I didn't have an epidural either time so I think that was why. It was horrible and I wanted one but they couldn't do it. This last time it was like less then three hours after they started pitocin and two pushes later and she was out.

I'm contracting about 6 minutes apart for the past couple of hours, so here I am, still at home eating ice cream. I just put DD to bed, so I think we'll be heading in to the hospital in a minute. Eeee!

You are a strong lady!! My induction is starting with oral cytotech (sp??) and going from there....pitocin is the 3rd "method" on the list after the oral pills, and breaking my water. Hopefully my body is all "hey, let's do this on our own!" and not "you want this baby out? Good luck with that!".

ah yes. I'd say the 15th then are they doing some sort of cervical ripening over night?
