If you've been induced 3 times,

[CardyMow]

What is the likelyhood of going into natural spontaneous labour? DD was induced at 34+4, born at 34+5, due to pre-eclampsia. I had 3x prostin gel , ARM and a syntocinon drip with her.

DS1 was induced at dead on 40 weeks due to extreme hyperemesis (I'd spent 19 weeks out of 40 hospitalised). Had 1x prostin gel and syntocinon drip. Had ARM again.

DS2 was induced at 40+2 due to HG again. Didn't need prostin this time, was having (very) mild contractions when went in, had syntocinon drip and ARM yet again.

I'm currently 31+4 with dc4, and am wondering if it's likely that I'll need to be induced again. When I had DS2, the MW said that I make very thick amniotic sacs and they're unlikely to rupture naturally. Could this be true if I've needed ARM all 3 times? It's just I'm petrified of my waters breaking while I'm going round the shops or doing the school run etc. Will they induce me this time round, as in give me a date, or how does it work now?

How would I know I was going into labour? Sounds daft when it's number 4, but i've never gone into spontaneous labour before, and can't remember what I'm meant to look out for!

Hi, I also have 3 DC , and was induced with all 3 of them.

I can only comment from my experiences and in no way claim to 'KNOW' the answer.

But yes i would say you will be getting induced again. ! I think when you are induced for medical reasons ( especially more than once ) it really interferes with how your body learns to deal with labour. Plus the advice your MW gave after ds2 seems to make induction even more likely.

I was induced with 3 of mine all over due,t boys 2 weeks and a girl just on 3 weeks,thankfully they only leave you 10 days now.
Baby no4,i was overdue and on the exact 10th morning i was due to go in to be induced,my waters went,think it was probably the shock and being scared knowing the day had come haha.

I felt like a pop while lying in bed and was slighty wet,so lay there another hour it was only 6am and hubby and the children were asleep.

so never say never,good luck ..:)
