Good morning, girls. My current temperature is 38.4°C. I'm in the maternity hospital, and they started inducing labor with medication. I've already taken the second dose yesterday, but nothing is happening. Has anyone experienced this before when labor was about to start?

38.4°C — a high fever. It could be an infection or a reaction to medication. Lack of progress despite stimulation is common, and sometimes surgery is necessary. Please consult a doctor to assess the situation and discuss possible next steps.

What is the reason for early stimulation? Usually, they wait until around 41.5 weeks. If the baby hasn't been born naturally by then, they consider early intervention.

Why are you being encouraged so early? Do you have any indications?

The stimulation usually begins early, typically after 41 weeks. For me, it started within a day after taking the second pill.

Someone asked a question here, and then they started wondering why. Did they forget to ask why the doctors are doing this? As if it would change anything. I took the first pill, and contractions began. Some of the girls nearby didn't find the pills helpful; there were other methods available.

Why are they stimulating so early? Do you have GSD? And why wasn't the bladder punctured?

My water broke and the mucus plug came out at 38 weeks and 3 days. I was induced with medication for two days, but I didn't experience any contractions. On the second day, they administered oxytocin, and I gave birth six hours later. :)

Masha This isn't a temperature—it's the pregnancy term. 🤦‍♀️😅

Svetlana Romina Where do they place the GDS?

They are scheduling GDS. They told me I need to give birth earlier. The second pill was taken yesterday. I'm waiting for the results from it. This will be my fifth childbirth. The bubble wasn't punctured, which is very scary and stressful.

After taking the second pill in the evening, we checked in the morning — her cervix had improved. They punctured the bubble and sent her to the delivery room. She gave birth after 9 hours.

During my first pregnancy, I was also given stimulation medications, but I took the pills and nothing happened. Later, I was taken to the delivery room, had my water broken, and then labor started. I had a cesarean section, and many of my acquaintances who were stimulated in the same way also ended up having cesarean deliveries.
