how bad does it hurt to get induced?

Answer 1

Well, that would depend on the method that they use for induction. Some doctors put a kind of suppository inside your vagina which softens your cervix, other's break your water, still others add a drip to your IV bottle to bring on contractions. I was induced for my first child as I was preeclamptic. The pain starts kind of smallish, like when they break the bag, then gets bigger of course as your contractions begin and get closer together and longer in duration.

In any event, induction is the just beginning to the end. There's a beautiful outcome and you will forget all the pain. Trust me. That's why women have more than one child (and men don't have any... they couldn't take the pain! Ha Ha).

Good luck.

I you get induced probably it's going to hurt a lot

But you can talk to your doctor about pain medication.
when a patient is induced they can use different methods dependind on the doctor and the patien.

The one the I see most of the time been used, is a medicine called Pitocin it is placed in your (IV or intravenous). It makes you have contractions so your cervix can upen up. you'll have a lot of pain.

They can use a pill that is placed in you vagina that makes you have contractions, some time they use a foley bulb,its a little plastic tube or catheter with a little balloon at the end it is placed in the vagina so it can inflate and help your vagina to open up.I don't know if the last one hurts or not.

Pain control

1. Breathing and relaxation.

2. Medicine in the Iv, takes the edge of the pain away, but not all the pain It makes you and the Baby sleepy so they would not give you more of this medicine when is time of delivery Because the baby can be sleepy and they don't want that, so that baby can breathe well. Your cervix has to open up 10cm so once you get to eigth or nine no more medicine. The hardest part will be without pain relieve.


3. Epidural
Epidural anesthesia is considered the most effective and easily adjustable pain medication for childbirth.1 It can be used to partially or fully numb the lower body, either allowing you enough feeling to push with your contractions or blocking all feeling for a cesarean delivery if that becomes necessary. With a low dose of medication (light epidural), you may also be able to walk around, which can make you more comfortable.

Be prepared for the pain, I've seen many people screeminng,yelling, kicking when they in labor.

Try to relax ,take deep and slow breaths in and out during contractions, try not to screem,try to focus on something else and not in the pain. I know that it hurts but remember that the pain will go away after the baby is born, and that it's nobody's fault that you're in pain.

I real stron girl doesn't screem. It doesn't mean that you don't have to do it because it's the wors't pain ever, but people will be proud of you if you don't over exaggerate.

Answer 3

IT HURTS LIKE A SON-of-A-BIATCH..

There it is. The truth. I was induced, and it hurts like hell. .. My labor last 16 hours. Hard, hard labor, 3 hours, and I pushed for 54 minutes before my son finally arrived. The mixed emotions are enough to throw one off, but then there is this pain that cannot even be described. I love my son dearly, and wouldn't change the experience I had, however, never will I have another (child that is.) lol lol

But you'll get thru it. You just will.



This isn't probably what you wanted to hear, and I'm sorry, I just wanted to be honest.

Good luck

Answer 4

I have 3 kids. My first was natural, my second was induced, my third c-sec. Being induced was so much more painful than natural labor. The contractions are more intense and stronger and on top of each other. Your labor is shorter but it hurts more.

Answer 5

Supposedly it makes the contractions stronger than what they would be normally. Having been induced both times due to "slow moving labor" I wouldn't know the difference. Yeah, it hurt but you already knew that. Wasn't horrible, just mostly uncomfortable and it eased up when I was able to push. It effects everyone differently, so there's no way to answer your question matter-of-factly, just offering personal experience. Obviously though, if you're asking this, you're pregnant, so CONGRATULATIONS! You won't even remember any pain when you lay eyes on your little one.

Answer 6

I was induced because my son was 2 weeks overdue. I was able to go the whole labor with just a mild pain reliever that they put into the IV. So for me it was better than I expected!

Answer 7

Honestly...

I was induced. The contractions were so severe, I almost fell off the bed. I sprained my hip by writhing in pain. 6.5 years later, I still have flashbacks to the really painful parts, although not as clear or frequent as they were in the first year.

The Pitocin makes the contractions super strong and super intense, and because you have to stay hooked up to monitors (for the safety of the baby)you can't really move around and change positions for your own comfort very much.

But, you gotta do what you gotta do!

Answer 8

It hurts a little more then naturally going. But you do what you gotta do. But, all contractions hurt like the devil! SO if that's what needs to happen.. think of it this way.. better to get it on the road so you can get the hard stuff over with sooner & enjoy the good stuff waiting at the end!

Answer 9

Getting induced just starts the labor process. They just put the medication into your I.V. and then once you go into labor it hurts just the same as if you went into labor naturally.

Answer 10

The only difference with my induction was the quickness. The pain wasn't any different, just faster contractions. One upside, the baby came faster! I had laid there all day in labor, after two minutes on Potocin(spelling?), I was in activie labor. Within one inning of the Braves game (husband) my daughter was born!
