Hi all, this is my first baby and a little nervous to say the least. My waters broke at 11:30pm last night and now being told I must come back 24hrs later for induction, as still jo contractions. I’m worried this is suppose to be more painful and stronger contractions (I’m also nervous about an epidural). Would be keen to hear your experiences? Also they keep saying it’s greater risk to leave longer than 24hrs as increased infection, but I’ve seen some experiences where mums TB have asked for another 24hrs to see if contractions start naturally...any advice or support would be great
