Hello everyone,

any one has experience with induced labor.
please give some suggestions.

Hi! Dont worry. A week here and there before or after the due date is o.k.
If you have dilated 1 cm. , then you may go into labour in a day or two.
Even if it is induced ( like I was ) it is not so terrible. After seeing the sweet face of your little one, all the pain borne is forgotten. All that matters is you and your darling.
Be happy and wait for the lovely day when you have a little one besides you!
bye.
Anupama Nivea replied. Hi Rashmi,

There is no cause for concern if u r just past ur due date. Normally The docs here (in abu dhabi where I reside ) wait for a week--to 10 days before inducing labour. AS they say--natural pains are the best.

And giving birth a week before or after the due date is perfectly normal rashmi..In my last pregnancy....I delivered almost a week after my due date with natural pains. So no reason to panic !

All u can do is to relax,sleep well, try not to think too much about it , keep yourself busy and of course,,walk..walk..walk !!

So take care and all the best
Nivea.
