At the moment I am 41 + 2, today I had a sweep with a bishop score of 3, I lost my mucus plug two days ago though.
Obviously I am hoping to labour naturally in the next 48 hours, but if I don't, I am booked for an outpatient induction on Monday (I'll then be 41+4), and I just wondered if anyone else had any experience of this? Basically it's where they bring you in if you're low risk, insert a pessary, and then all being well you're allowed to go home to labour there.
I hear a lot of horror stories of induction, but is that more with the drip than the pessary? Also, I hear that often the pessary doesn't work first time?
Given my bishop score and that I have lost my mucus plug, do you think it could be successful? Has anyone else had the pessary? Any positive stories to share?
Also, I did want a birth centre delivery, and my midwife implied today that it may still be possible to have that if it just takes the pessary to induce labour. So I am just trying to stay positive.
Thanks!
