I´m a mom too and I was induced at 38 weeks... When you are having a baby there is no such thing as "anti...". The important thing is for you and your baby to be healthy and safe. Everything will work out fot the best. I´ve been here for years yet rarely comment. Sending much love from BRAZIL, Ana

I’m not a mom but This right here! I understand that a lot of women have an ideal plan for their birth but giving birth isn’t something you can totally plan for. The ultimate goal should just be to have a healthy mom and baby!

Reminder from a student midwife that it’s OKAY to grieve what you wanted in birth. It’s okay to have a birth plan and to want things to go a certain way and to be upset when they don’t.

Excuse me, but what's an induction?

Just in case no one told you… what you’re experiencing is completely valid. Your grief over your birth plan is valid. Your grief over the three weeks you thought you’d have is valid. Your joy about meeting your baby is valid. It doesn’t matter what anyone else has gone through or that they’ve “had it worse”. I wish you/baby good health and a smooth delivery. ❤

Didn't even realise being 'anti-induction' was a thing. I thought people got induced because it was medically necessary, and who would be anti wanting the best for baby and mother? Hope you are all doing well Sarah!!

Me either I was always induced but I would like to experience my water breaking since this is my third pregnancy

If it’s any comfort to you or anyone reading, I was induced from medical necessity both pregnancies at 37 weeks. It took out a lot of the anxiety around wondering when things could happen suddenly and if things would go wrong before I could get to a hospital. I felt a lot of comfort being monitored 24/7, and knowing I’m in a place with access to help and professionals at any given second. I hope things go smoothly, safely, and beautifully for you and sweet baby girl.

My water broke at 36 weeks. Anything that doesn’t go according to plan is so scary. I’m sending you love 😭

Pregnancy and delivery is so mind-blowing to me, I have so much respect and awe to this who go through it.

Mee too. I'm a 30 yo woman and I could never go through pregnancy and delivery (I don't want kids). I have *so much respect* for all the women out there who do it. I could never.

SARAH you are already such a good mom to your baby girl, seeing the way you get emotional about having to protect her in the real world before she’s even born shows the level of care in your heart. Even if you didn’t get the natural, spiritual birth with laboring at home like you envisioned you should be SO proud of yourself. Maybe you can have a postpartum ceremony and pamper yourself with baby girl and make it into a new years tradition so you can really get the full effect. All the best to you, Ryan and of course her 💝

aww that’s such a good idea!

I was induced at 37+3! Everything went great. Wishing all the same for you 💜

There’s absolutely nothing shameful or wrong about needing an induction, you are taking care of your body. Pregnancy can be very unpredictable and can be scary, but no reason to feel ashamed over your concerns, non of them are stupid, they are more than understandable. I wish the best for you and your baby Sarah❤

I’m not a mother, never plan to be. I don’t know a lot about pregnancy, birth and such. But what you’re feeling is completely valid. You’re allowed to feel anxious. You’re allowed to not feel confident. You’re allowed to be worried. You’re allowed to not be excited about this change. You’re allowed to be disappointed your plan that you were attached to isn’t happening. But trust your doctor, trust they are doing what’s best for you and your Bub. They want you and baby to be as safe as possible. Try and prepare yourself best you can, but once you’re in the moment you won’t care about all the little things. You’ll be focused on labour and meeting your little one. And once you lay eyes on them, everything will feel okay. Perfect. I’m sorry things aren’t going to plan. Best of luck and I know all will be okay ❤ sending all my love and support to all three of you.

don’t feel rushed to get back to yt if you’re struggling, or not ready. enjoy having your sweet girl with you 🤍 we will be here to support you when you are able to post. we love you sarah!! sending you so much love and quick healing.

Edited to add: first and foremost, I’m so sorry things are happening like this. I was induced at 38 weeks due to high blood pressure also! Everything went well. You can and you will do this! Pretend you’re at home and do everything you would have done otherwise! I also felt robbed of my birth experience and it has taken time to come to terms with that. Give yourself that time. Talk about your birth memory with your partner and grieve what you may not have gotten. Lots of love

I recently had a miscarriage, & I just want to say watching your videos has helped me so much, I've grown up watching you & for us both to be moms was absolutely wild to me. I can't wait to see your baby girl & wish you all the best! No one can tell you how to be a mom or have the right to judge your choices. Sending positive vibes. x

Pre-eclampsia has nothing to do with your anxiety. It is actually caused by a problem with the blood supply to the placenta. There are risk factors for it (pre existing high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity), but you didn’t cause it by being anxious or consuming caffeine, etc. Though it can be serious, it is also quite common. Everything will work itself out just fine. Take care of yourself and your new love!

Being induced isn't horrible or scary. Due to complications, all my labors were induced. They were ALL wonderful experiences, complication free. ❤️

My sister had preeclampsia and I had to rush her to the hospital to get a c-section one afternoon after her BP kept increasing. She had other complications and a c-section was the plan. She also wanted to wait but for the health of the mother and the baby, it was time. Don't be so hard on yourself, pregnancy does crazy things to the body. I suggest watching Raw Beauty Kristi's birth video, nothing went according to plan and she struggled with not getting her birth plan go down. It's heartbreaking but her baby is now 1 year old and after a lot of hard times she is doing better as well.

I was adamantly against induction and medical intervention too. It feels heartbreaking to feel like the body has betrayed you. But honestly, a year later, I’m grateful to have had doctors who had my best interests in mind. It is their goal to ensure you and baby make it through safely and as healthy as possible. Sending you lots of positive energy and wishing all the best for your little family. 💞

This!! Thank god for medical professionals who take care of us through such dangerous times. There's such a tremendous pressure on mother's to do things as "natural" as possible. Then we blame ourselves when things don't go that way. The goal should always be ensuring mother and baby are safe and healthy ❤️

I was induced at 41 weeks, and it was my biggest fear as well. My son is here, and he's healthy. That's what I wanted, and I wouldn't change a thing now. I am so, so sorry you're going through this. You, Ryan, and baby are in my thoughts. 💜

I was induced at 41 weeks as well. My daughter didnt care at all, she was just super sleepy, everything went really well

Preeclampsia/gestational hypertension is rarely caused by anxiety. It usually has something to due with how the placenta formed early on and the vessels there. So, do not blame yourself. Also, pre-eclampsia is more common with 1st time pregnancies, and the risk is lower with a second.

Please God protect her as she labors and brings her baby into this world. Blessings to you Sarah, you got this.

I am currently 20 weeks pregnant, and your videos have been a big help and comfort to me throughout this pregnancy! I sincerely hope there isn’t any negativity on this video - you are absolutely doing what is best for you and your baby!

I hope everything went well for you and your baby! ❤ Don’t worry about people’s opinions about your choice. You did what was best for both of you! This is not your fault, ok? Don’t blame yourself.

Sending all the good vibes your way Sarah. I know it’s scary. You’re going to be an amazing mother- you already are by making the best/safest decision for you and your baby.

Pregnancy and childbirth is such a life changing event and experience, and it’s absolutely OK to grieve the loss of the plans that you had during such a tumultuous time

I was induced at 38 weeks due to gestational diabetes and the fear of her being too big and some other concerns so I know how hard it is to let go of your ideal plan and timeline and come to terms with the new course that’s taking place. Whether it’s Monday, Wednesday or a week from now, the important thing is you both come out of this safe and healthy. Sending you all the positive vibes and hope everything goes as smoothly as possible!

I was induced at 28 weeks due to extremely low fluid surrounding my daughter. It was nerve wrecking to go into a doctors appointment and being told “You’re being induced in three days”. I knew it was what was best and safest for me and my daughter. Went to be induced and she was born early the next morning🤍 the best birth plan is mom and baby coming out safe and healthy. Wishing you and your baby a healthy birth🤍🤍

I had a very similar experience in July with my first. I wasn't anti induction but I wanted to know what it felt like to go into labor naturally. I went in at 38 weeks and my bp was high. They wheeled me down to be monitored & told me if it stayed high i was being induced that day. It went down and labs were fine so I monitored at home the next day it was higher. I went back to the hospital to be monitored again and was given an induction date 3 days later. My heart is with you. My induction was very positive very minimal pain for most of the time and it was amazing. You truly won't care about how she got here when you hold your baby girl. But you do have the right to mourn the birth you dreamed of. Sending you the best of luck, well wishes and good vibes.

Sarah! Sending all the love to you and Ryan. You got this ❤

Oh my goodness the emotions that I felt watching this! I hope you are safe and well and that your baby is with you or almost with you guys!! I'm so so sorry that it didn't go the way you planned and had your heart set on. That is such a hard thing to be forced to come to terms with.

I chose to be induced when my blood pressure started getting high. Hugs, I'm not gonna lie and say it went easy, but I was able to avoid a c section so I was happy about that.

Best of luck Sarah! I hope all is well with you and baby girl and that this latest chapter in your life has an amazing beginning, despite the hardships you have been going through recently. I follow a girl on TikTok who is pregnant with twins and going through the same things with her blood pressure, and she was scheduled to give birth at 37 wks on December 12 as well, so you’re in good company and not alone!

Sarah my heart is with you. A change in birth preferences is never easy. Take each day at a time, give yourself grace. Your body is working the hardest it have ever had to. Lots of love ❤️

So proud of you for making such a hard decision! There's no reason you have to defend it to ANYONE! It's hard when we have a plan and our bodies decide not to cooperate. Induction is made out to be a really scary thing, but I've helped with and seen BEAUTIFUL births where moms had to have more interventions than they originally planned due to medical reasons. I know it's hard and so easy to be skeptical of doctors and their intentions. I'm 36 weeks and was told I may need an induction too due to the baby's size. It's not what I originally planned for myself so I understand the frustration and that feeling of fear and disappointment. I hope you have a positive and beautiful experience and that you and your little girl stay happy and healthy. Best of luck to you, momma! ❤️ You are soooo strong to have gotten to this point and to go through the stress of these decisions....and don't let anyone let you feel like the way you give birth changes that!! You are wonder woman!! 💪❤️

Wishing you all the lucky in the world for a safe and speedy delivery! I know this news has been tough, I can't begin to imagine, but I'm hoping meeting her soon will all be worth it. Lots of love!

I'm so sorry things didn't go as planned Sarah! I hope holding her in your arms soon will make everything stressful melt away. I'm praying that things go well during your delivery! I also don't think it's at all stupid to be suspicious of induction especially so close to Christmas, many people who don't need inductions end up being pressured into them by their doctor as you know, and that's such a valid fear to have.

I’m wishing and hoping for the best Sarah and PLEASE try not to worry about work you and your body and your baby will always come first❤❤

I hope everything went well and you're both safe and happy! Wishing you a fast recovery💛

Watching this made me so emotional, both for you and thinking back to my son being born in January. I was having bad swelling and my blood pressure was increased at some of my appointments, I was so emotional and nervous that I would have to be induced. I was luckily able to take some extra time off work which helped and I did not have to be induced early. BUT my son was so comfortable that I was two weeks late and ended up being induced even though I REALLY did not want to. Same as you, it wasn't even a thought in my mind that it would have to happen! But the only thing that matters is both of your safety. I hope you're having an amazing time with your baby.

I empathize with your situation so much. I had my baby last year and I had such a specific vision for my birth plan, and everything that I thought was going to happen, the exact opposite happened and it was definitely a grieving process but it’s so exciting because you’re having a baby! It’s going to be completely crazy and everything that happens is going to come at you so fast! It’s so good to just try to stay present and give yourself as much grace as possible. Trust yourself. You’re gonna be a great mom 😊

Wishing you and your baby well Sarah. You deserve peace of mind and good health

Your feelings are valid! But don’t let your perfectionism make you feel like you are failing! You are doing awesome and I’m happy to hear you will meet your little one soon! Can’t wait to hear what name you and Ryan picked!

Good luck Sarah! Wishing you all the best! My Mum had that, it's always best to eir of the side of caution. xx
