Take an ipad/magazines/book with you. It can be a long process. Also ear plugs! Wards are noisy places.

I was induced at 6.00pm. By 11.00pm the next evening I was holding my baby.

Lots of luck.

And snacks and water or squash!

Good luck and if you want pain relief while they are administering don't be afraid to ask for it, like gas and air!

oh yes snacks are a must.

Walk around lots. I swear this helped me. I also asked for a medicine ball to bounce on and did a lot of walking up and down stairs

Yy Peach I needed the ball and walking for induction 2 which took much longer, induction 1 I had the gel, sleeping tablets as it was night time and was in full on labour in the middle of the night!

How many weeks are you op?
