3 days from today I am going to be admitted to the hospital to prepare for induction. I can reschedule for a later time, but the doctor thinks its best to do it now since the baby is already 7 1/2 pounds and will probably be 8 pounds by the day of induction.
I just am curious to know what being induced is like. My mother was induced 20 years ago, and she says it was a very unpleasant experience. However my doctor assures me that now the process has changed and they administer the medicine in a way that mimics natural labor.
So I would just like people who have been induced or know people who have been induced recently to share stories with me. Because I am really starting to freak out, and just need to know how induction compares to natural childbirth.
Thanks! and sorry this is so long.
Im 16 and i had my son in june of 2008... i was induced and it went by quick.. i was in labor for 6 hours all together and only the last hour of labor hurt... and i pushed for like 10-15 minutes. it wasn't bad at all... don't be scared...it will be fine, trust me. the doctors know what they are doing.

Thanks, I'm just curious did you have an epidural? because I'm planning on not having an epidural.
