Im 38 weeks and my gynac mentioned induction might be needed if things dont start on their own. I dont really know what the process is like and its making me nervous. Can someone who went through it share how it went?
My doctor explained there are a few methods, like cervical gel, breaking the water bag, or an oxytocin drip depending on how ready your body is. They monitor you closely the whole time. She said it's done when waiting longer is riskier than delivering, so it really is case by case.
Mine had a few complications so they decided induction carefully. Honestly the process varies a lot person to person, so dont compare too much. Ask your own gynac exactly what they plan for you and why.
I was induced as I crossed my due date. They started with a gel and then later a drip to bring on contractions. It took some hours but I had a normal delivery, so dont be scared if your doctor suggests it.
