Hi, I was induced over 2 days prior to delivery of my DC. It was a horrible experience involving being shut up in a small room being monitored every 3 hours for 48 hours then eventually drip as nothing muchhad happened in the 48 hours. I felt so powerless and out of control. I hear so many stories of horrible births. my actual 'labour' when it did eventually come was quick and painfree (epidural) but the run up was awful and long.
when compared to grizzly and painful labours mine was not this. i just felt so helpless and 'managed'.
I don't feel able to 'moan' maybe coz i feel bad about the epidural but i do feel 'traumatized' by the whole experience!
How do i cope with this - is this normal / has anyone else had these feelings after a long induction or am i just being a wuss?!
