			<description><![CDATA[I was induced because my water broke  but I wasn't going into labor. They gave me a small amount of the drug for something like 10 hours, and when I wasn't making progress they increased the dose and then I went into real labor. 
  
 I didn't have any bad reactions to the drug, and for me it took a wh...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Really you are so close to being due how much weight do they think your baby is going to gain in that amount of time? I would be concerned about an induction with pitocin before I "was due" especially if your cervix has not shown any ripening or dialating. Are they going to due the cervidal first, u...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[all being induced is being given a chemical that tells the body, oh I have to go into labor and speed up contractions. Really, there is not much to worry about at all. It is very common and your doctor's reasoning is legit for choosing that path. My wife was going to be induced but went into labor e...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You could go into labor before Monday.  My dr. saw me on a Mon. and wanted to induce me on Wed.  I had my baby on Tues!  I'll cross my fingers for you!  I was induced w/ my first baby, though.  Having a baby hurts no matter if you are induced or not - you will do great!]]></description>

 i had my twins the same, and they were fine as well.  
 relax, and take a breath. childbirth is a wonderful, natural, and emotional thing. don't rule out the posibility of a csection, or an epidural (i had them with...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hey hun.  How big are they thinking your baby is?  If you are comfortable with the whole induction thing then that's great.  But from what I've heard, they can be off a couple POUNDS on their estimate of the baby weight this late in the pregnancy.  On top of that, my "little" guy was 9lb 5oz and aft...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was induced with my last 2 daughters. Having labored with DD1, I have to say that it was nice to be induced because I knew when I would have the baby. The only thing is that the labor itself was more painful. All they do is hook you up to an IV and start the pitocin, and let it do its thing!! Some...]]></description>

What happened was I went in the hospital on Monday night at 3pm and they started giving me a half of a pill every 4 hours to thin ...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I was induced with my son Logan, and he is now 14 weeks old. I can say that an epidural is what you want if you are being induced because it is more painful. Being induced can last longer too, thats why it is nice to have pain management because your labor can be 24 hours or more! Luckily I only had...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Hi. I was induced on May 1, and gave birth on May 2nd. First, I would like to tell you that getting induced is not really bad. Of course everyone hopes to go into labor naturally, but being induced is the next best thing. 
  
 I was given a drug vaginally to start contractions. But, in my case the dru...]]></description>
