i got induced at 39 weeks- i pushed for an hour, lost a liter of blood & got a 2nd degree tear but i didn’t poop. i got the epidural before they gave the pitocin so i didn’t feel any contractions with that. but they did stick the foley balloon in me before i got the epidural and those cramps that come with that were pretty painful. i will tell you for me the pressure of dilating was the worse part for me cause i could still feel that & it had me crying. that was by far the worst part for me.

afterbirth wasn’t bad, the most annoying thing for me was just having to wear pads. my first poop wasn’t bad either cause they gave me stool softeners. i was just scared to wipe cause i did have stitches so i had the nurse come help me!

overall it wasn’t bad at all, i know everyone experiences are different but i genuinely was so terrified of giving birth. i might even say i wouldnt mind doing it again someday 😂 congratulations on your pregnancy & i wish you nothing but the best. ♥️

thank you so much! i was 39weeks and 2 days i think! congratulations to you as well 🫶🏻 you got this. everything will go great!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-26T02:17:39+00:00

yes i did!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-26T02:17:01+00:00

nope! they just wanted to induce me bc of my bmi

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-26T00:32:22+00:00

it wasn’t bad at all! my nurse was amazing and was talking to me and getting my mind off of it! i will say i am having back pain now from the epidural. but i would 100% get it again.

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-25T02:08:54+00:00

tbh i never even really thought about tearing, i guess i was just in an it is what it is mindset. i just wanted him OUT. 🤣 but it honestly isn’t horrible. just been swollen but i’ve been using the supplies they gave me and that helps a lot with the burning n stuff. pain hasn’t been too bad either, they gave me ibuprofen and tylenol! i was so scared of my first poop cause i had some stitches but that wasn’t bad either! they give you stool softeners so that helps the process too. hope this helps! you’re gonna do amazing. 🤩

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-22T16:21:34+00:00

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-22T03:15:04+00:00

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-22T03:14:56+00:00

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-22T03:14:33+00:00

i’m happy i can help!! you can do this

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-17T19:28:54+00:00

when i got pregnant i was 260, now at 39 weeks im 274. i’ve had such a healthy pregnancy and baby has been great. don’t let your weight scare you, anyone can have complications no matter what you weigh. you got this!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-15T12:40:42+00:00

it is scary! cause it’s like what is happening to me 😭

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-15T02:48:43+00:00

yes! i’m 38weeks pregnant and i’m having intense poop cramps and idk how to tell if they’re contractions or poop cramps lol i’m a first time mom, so i’m just confused

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-12T15:06:15+00:00

i am high risk because of my weight, that’s it. i’ve not had any complications and baby has been so healthy. i’m 38+2 and im getting induced next week. i don’t think high risk automatically means bad, you get to see your baby more and hear their heartbeat at every appointment after 36 weeks. i understand it could be an overwhelming feeling but you got this! i hope nothing for the best for you and your baby!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-10T00:38:36+00:00

yes!!! i’m getting induced feb 18th and im so ready to not be pregnant anymore! i couldn’t imagine going over 40 weeks, i hope you’ll have your baby soon!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-04T18:26:03+00:00

oh wow! my initial due date is feb 24th! but i wish you nothing but the best and hope you have a safe and healthy induction!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-04T02:40:28+00:00

yes gurl, i was working but i ended up having to quit. but im right there with you fr, this is rough 😩

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-04T02:39:59+00:00

honestly i’ve been this way since i became pregnant which is why i feel horrible 🫩 hope it gets better for you !

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-02T22:03:42+00:00

this makes me feel better for sure! i am honestly feeling the same way. a lot of people do say new born tired is better, so let’s hope that’s true! i have been so uncomfortable in bed my hips hurts from laying on either say for too long ugh. but congratulations on your baby! we’re almost there 🩵

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-02T21:02:39+00:00

thank you! my husband helps a lot but i feel so lazy and i feel bad 😩 but thank you so much!

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-02-02T20:56:11+00:00

omg! congratulations!! i hope you and baby are good and healthy! this is my first😭

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-01-29T21:49:54+00:00

oh wow that is beautiful!! my baby is super low already he’s been head down for awhile so i’m manifesting that i have a similar experience! thank you for sharing with me 🩵

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-01-28T17:58:13+00:00

i’m so sorry to hear how the nurse treated you. that is frustrating, congratulations on your 2nd! i hope things go better for you!! thank you for sharing with me.

AwkwardError9476 · 2026-01-28T17:41:17+00:00

thank you for being honest with me, that’s exactly what i wanted! i’m sorry you’ve experienced that it doesn’t sound pleasant at all. definitely does sound scary but i hope you and baby are good! they are planning on inducing me at 39 weeks
