Anxious

[applesvpears]

I am in hospital being induced. Due second pessary thing soon. I know women go through this every day, but I am really nervous and anxious.

Is thus your first baby?

This, not thus!

I was induced with DC1. I had three pessaries which didn't really work, but gave me period type pain. My second pessary was at night too, like yours. I got some paracetamol and therefore some sleep, would advise you do the same if possible.

On the plus side, once they started me on a drip I delivered with 7 hours, so pretty quickly really

Good luck OP.

It is my first and this is dreadful. I don't think I can do it. Feeling in so much pain X

You can do it OP. I was induced with DD three weeks ago, it's tough but you will get there.
I found the early bit the worst, try to focus on your breathing if you can. I blew out a golden thread with each contraction, a long smooth exhale over some green hills. Later the gas and air really helped, have you had any pain relief?
I know it's hard to imagine but it won't be long until you can meet your baby.

You can do it and soon you will be holding your little baby.

Hi everyone. Thank you for those reassuring posts. I thought I would update you and say I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl on 17th March. It was 24 hour labour ending in an emergency c section. Quite an ordeal! But she arrived safe and is amazing. Xxxxx
