I will be 38 weeks tomorrow. I will have been dilated 2 cm for 4 weeks on Friday. I keep having Braxton Hicks contractions that hurt, so I am thinking about naturally inducing.

I was induced 2weeks ago with my 4th baby.I had my water broken then the synotocin drip. My labour was the most painful and rapid labour I have ever had and I felt completely out of control the minute the drip was working. I highly recommend that women WAIT as long as it is medically safe before opting for an induction. I wish I had. I guess now have to have another baby to get the birth I really wanted. Before I was medically induced, I tried everyting to get labour started-pineapple, homeopathy, aromatherepy, reflexology, sex, curry and even castor oil.We wanted baby out at 37 weeks as my hubby in RAF and was going away but I still wish I had let nature take its course.

I'm about 32 weeks and I am going through the worst time. This is my second pregnancy and it seems soo much harder. I'm having breathing problems and I want out. I think my child will like the outside world :). But I'm not sure that it's safe to enduce before 37 weeks.

My due date is today...I am 2 centemeters dialated and the doctor said my cervix is 75% thinned out. I am scheduled for induction on Tuesday, which is only 6 days away. But I really can't stand it any longer and want to try to induce the baby.

Second child and I'm ready to get this over with. Let's get the party started! I really want to induce so that the baby comes.
Hubby is ready, too.

I have tried massage, castor oil, sex, nipple stimulation, walking, curb walking, pineapple....everything I can think of. I am really tired. I just want her to come out and none of the doctors are helping out.
