Natural Birth & Parenting
I'm currently 12 weeks pregnant with baby #2. With DS I was induced for going over my due date. With this baby though I am determined to go all natural but I'm scared out of my mind! So let me hear your birth stories to give me courage. Maybe if I start building myself up now I wont be scared when the big day finally comes!

With my first I was induced at 41 weeks for going over due. They started cervidil (sp) at 6 pm at 2 am I started contracting on my own and they started poticen at 6am. Nathan was born at 3:32pm after 3 1/2 hours of pushing and a episotmy.
There are SO many things I want to change for this baby!

I was induced with my first in January. After 29 hours of pitocin induced labor and assistance with a vacuum my baby boy was born healthy and strong. I'm due in Feb with my second. I plan on going natural as well. Honestly, I'm not really that nervous for the pain. I hear that pitocin makes contractions harder. My were at one point on top of each other. I think the pain will be less intense because it will be natural. :) I still dread labor though. Lol. We were planning on waiting longer.
How were you induced? How long was your labor? -

Sounds kinda similar! Pit was started at 10am and he was born at 2:55pm the following day. Vacuum and epesiotomy helped.
