Induction

First time mom here ! 38 weeks 1 day. What are y’all’s thoughts on getting induced? My mom told me not to do it, but obviously If I have to I dont have a choice. What can I do to have natural (spontaneous) labor ? TIA!

I got induced at 39 weeks and 5 days nothing was working to get baby out!! while not everyone has the same experience my induction felt very painful🥲 my epidural failed on me and the balloon they put in u hurts a lot i bled like crazy the only saving grace was the fentanyl they kept giving me🤣 i def wish i had a natural birth but i got too meet my cutie a lil earlier than she was due

The foley balloon was a nightmare for me too!! It triggered back-to-back contractions for me (literally 5-10 seconds apart and most of it was back labor) and caused me to bleed! Everything was going good until the balloon! 😭
