Induction for Polyhydramnios
I'm 36 weeks with idiopathic polyhydramnios that is growing pretty quickly.
Anyway, I've been reading that induction is contraindicated for polyhydramnios. But then I've also been reading that its recommended. Other than the risk of cord prolapse and placental abruption associated with the waters breaking, does anyone know why induction would be contraindicated? Otherwise, if all the fetal monitoring, etc. I'm going for starts to show a problem, what would they do? A C-section? My midwife has only been talking induction. Thanks, Nancy |

I was induced at 9 days past my due date. I had polyhydramnios, I was induced, but it failed. The baby was not engaged and never descended. I was given a c-section. With excess fluid the baby has more room to move, perhaps it is less likely to be in the optimal position for birth. Larissa |

Wow, you must have been very large, having polyhydramnios and being overdue. Were you very uncomfortable? I am...not just the weight stuff but my skin is painful to the touch. Nancy |

Nancy My baby was also 9lb 10oz! Yes, I was very uncomfortable, stretch marks galore and 44lbs of extra weight, mostly out in front. I ended up in tears in my last appointment and agreed to try an induction. In hindsight I wish I had waited till labor began on its own, even if it took a week longer. Perhaps your skin is painful because it is stretched so much. I am not sure. It feels like forever but the last few weeks of pregnancy DO end and when you look back on it the whole pg seems to go quickly. I hope you go into labor around your due date. Larissa |
