[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2256732, member: 365308"] Hi. I had a c section because I got pre eclampsia at 34 weeks (one of those things that is more common with type 1). Therefore I was not allowed an induction for 2 and 3 and had to have c sections. I've only got anecdotal experience of inductions so I would suggest making a list of pros and cons that you can ask a midwife; the midwifes can be nervous of dealing with non standard pregnancies but should be able to talk to you about the different types of drugs they would use and the likely success rate e.g how many resulted in a natural delivery compared to a non induced labour? Average durations of labour etc. The only thing I'd say is that with an induction you will be booked in at a time when a consultant is on hand as opposed to possibly not having access to that specialist should they be needed. If I was doing it again, i would go for a natural birth because it helps the baby to develop a great immunity system (c section babies are more likely to have allergies and less diverse gut michobiome). Also heard that natural birth hurts quite a bit...You don't get any medals either way but as you say it is best to be empowered by having your questions answered. [/QUOTE]
