@nursemidwifenyela: Induction of labor is NOT just “start Pitocin and have a baby.” It’s a step-by-step process that depends heavily on how ready your body is 👏 ✨ Cervical ripening ✨ Pitocin ✨ Breaking your water ✨ And patience… lots of it Some inductions are quick—but many take 1–2+ days, especially for first-time moms. That’s normal 🤍 If you’re getting induced or think you might be, understanding the process can make it way less overwhelming. 👉 Go binge my Induction 101 series for a full breakdown of each step. #pregnancy #inductionoflabor #firsttimemom #laboranddelivery #hospitalbirth

Do you have tips on how to control anxiety about Cytotce… that’s what they gave me when I miscarried last year… and that’s what they plan on giving me on the 30th of this month and I’m scared…

Hope :
I'm so confused I was induced with my 2nd with pills, they just warned me about pain and I gave birth 2 hours later. Is it not the same?

Peace | Induction L&D Nurse :
This is such an important reminder! As an L&D nurse, I see so many first-time moms come in expecting things to happen overnight, and the pressure they put on themselves can be so tough. Patience truly is the most important tool in our kit. Taking it one step at a time and allowing the body to adjust safely makes a world of difference.

Getting induced tomorrow and already 5cm/70%. Is there a chance I can still consider epidural free birth since I just really need tipped into active labor?
