im goin to be induced on tuesday will,im worrying about it abit, will i be in pain during any of this induction? help!!!
Answer:
Hi,
My second baby was induced, and no the induction itself does not hurt at all (yes the pessaries are not lovely but they do not hurt)
It is though true that the contractions of an induced birth can be slightly more painful. What I would highly reccommened is that as soon as you’re booked in that you say that you’re worried about the pain and ask them what pain relief will be avaliable early on….I state this as you will be on one ward and will be moved to delivery suite when your contractions are close enough, I had issues and I know other women that heve, wherein you can be moved to delivery suite quite late on (lets face it you are in hospital anyway!) but they do not always have the same pain relief avaliable…eg they may send you for a bath….not always enough!!
On the counter I know friends who preferred being induced as you’re in hospital and dont have the situation many have (I did with my first baby) of turning up at delivery suite and being told you’re not advanced enough and being sent home!
It is also a strangely bonding experience as being induced is quite slow and you find you make friends!
You’ll be fine, I would just make sure they know you’re worried so they keep a closer eye on you.
Good luck with your new life!!
Answer:
It depends on how they induce you. Have you had a membrane sweep? This is usually the first thing they do to try and kick start labour.
Usually, they will insert a prostins pessary or gel to try to ripen the cervix - this is a more natural kick begin too and shouldn't hurt any more than normal labour. I was induced that way. They will try this up to 3 times and if it fails, they will move onto the next stage. Depending on how dilated you’re, they will either break your waters and/or put you on a pitocin drip. Both of these are stated to give you stronger, harder and more painful contractions than normal labour.
Hopefully the pessaries will work first - they do for many women.
Answer:
My suggestion would be to perhaps question why you’re being induced in the first place….in most instances it is unecessary and can lead to lots of complications and yes, much more painful labour.
I really don't mean to panic you, but you should do some research over the next couple of days if you can…if it is for a particular reason that your baby has to come out on tuesday, then that’s one thing, but if it is for reasons that are not medical or emergency, then maybe you could reconsider.
I state this as I’ve just given birth to my third child three months ago…I had an emergency Ceaserean with my second - and I was desperate for a natural birth with my third. The Dr.s didn’t fully support my wanting a vaginal birth, and tried to scare me with stories of Uterine rupture….Sooooo I did a lot of research and looked at the statistics, and what I found was that uterine rupture was most common in women who were induced (usually the incorrect dose was administered, or the woman not monitored properly), but through my research I realised that induction is a really bad thing to do to a woman, and a totally overused technique.
I went on to have a very safe and wonderful homebirth - I chose home with a midwife as it was the only way I knew I could do it without stupid physicians interfering.
All that stated, I don't want to scare you, I just wanted to gently recommend you do some research and look into it.
Otherwise, the best advice I have for you is to as much as possible, totally surrender yourself to whatever is to come, pain and all - you will get through it, and you’ll have a beautiful baby at the end…you will find your strength, and it will all be okay.
ideal wishes.
Answer:
Just in the sense that the contractions come faster then if you weren't induced. I really wish someone had told me this and I was more prepared for it. The upside you see your baby sooner and no lingering in labour for days, I was done in 11 and half hours. Now that seems long but that’s from entering the hospital to when my son was born. Ive had friends be in slow labour and mild contractions with no pain relief for days. I would have been done sooner but my son was face up and I couldn't push him out., They were waffling about using a vacuum or not. Good luck, don't worry its all worth it in the end,.
Answer:
No, the induction process itself doesn't injured. It can be a bit uncomfortable when they insert the pessaries, but not painful, and believe me childbirth is more painful than anything else!
Saying that though, induced births are supposed to be more painful, but I found the opposite, my second was induced, and he was a 3.5 hour labour with gas and air, less painful and much easier than my first.
Answer:
An induction is just the physicians using medicines to speed along the natural process. the only thing that may hurt is if the stripe your membranes but they should have done that already if your 40 weeks. Otherwise your going to feel all the pain you would have felt if your body got things going.
Answer:
In the UK to start with they insert gel this is to ripen your cervix. That doesn't injured. I didn't find any of the induction process sore at all. I mean Labour hurts and that's the only part of it.
Some people state that being induced makes your labour more painful but I don't see how it could get anymore painful that it already is. My 1st baby I wasn't induced and 2nd I was and it wasn't any sorer.
Talk to your midwife and they can talk you though it. I just answered another question about Induction and almost gave my whole story with times lol. Have a look at it

Answer:
it will injured lot more because they’ve to break ur waters for u, which means u wont have the slow minor pain process were the pain gradually gets more intense, it will just get reall intense when they break ur waters.
if i were u, i would be doing everything in my power to make sure i could go into labour myself by:
having a lot of sex- any kind of pleasure contracts the uterus anyway which should get things moving.
eat a lot of spicy crisps, food, i ate a multipack of spicy crisps, not to go into labour, just cause i had a craving for them but i went into labour that night.
exercise everyday- i hate walking so i put on my ipod and danced to myself to the music i love like shaking my hips dancing, and when u drink lots of water, u are able to dance for much longer and dont get fatigued as easily.
i wouldnt wait around counting the days till ur induction id be doing all them things each day please do so
Answer:
I dont think the induction itself hurts at all. But (Not to scare you) my Dr says usually, induced labours are more painful and take longer. And sorry to say, thats been the case for everyone I know.
But as usal, it depends on the woman, baby and pregnancy. Ideal of luck!
Answer:
Well, the contractions from an induced labor are typically more painful than a natural, spontaneous labor.
And the IV for the pitocin pinches, if that's the method they're using.
Answer:
No, you won't be in pain from the induction.
You will be from the labour it induces though! The actual induction (having a bit of gel put up there) is pretty much trivial compared with a BABY trying to come out!
Answer:
I guess it depends how you are to be induced!
I had my waters broken and it didn't hurt one bit!
Answer:
no all they do is put you on an IV that makes it go faster, you'll be fine
congrats! <3
