Induction doesn't always equal baby

Just because you are being induced doesn’t mean you will have a baby that day or the next day. First you have to make sure the hospital has room for you sometimes the hospital gets too busy and they bump you out and put you on a waiting list. You will be waiting around all day or maybe a few days for the phone call to come on in to be induced. It is the worst and most stressful feeling ever. You will go from being nervous and excited to have your baby the day they tell you and than you get the call that you won’t be seen. It is nerve racking because you have everything set up, a babysitter if you have more kids, time off of work for you and your husband, out of town relatives come into town to see the event and it all falls apart. Even if you are lucky enough to keep your appointment and get induced it doesn’t mean you are going to have that baby soon or fast. Some women do not respond to the medication and I have heard of some women being sent home because things were not progressing well enough. Make sure to talk to your doctor and find out what medication you will be getting and what your chances of being sent home are.
