I’m getting induced on the 10th as well. I would talk with your doctor about all the alternatives they have. I know my hospital offers a few different things. If you ask now you can do your research and see what you feel the most comfortable with.
@Noelle is this an option at every hospital or just certain ones?
@Raye-Lyn is supposed to be offered in every hospital
@Noelle maybe I’ll ask about it this time
My induction isn’t going to be using pitocin at first they are gonna try a balloon to naturally induce without meds - you can try that or ask if it’s an option but outside of the Pitocin you can ask for laughing gas to help manage pain
You can ask for laughing gas thats what im asking for this time i want to avoid epidural
