mosschops lactulose is fine in preg, I had to take it a lot unfortunately in my pregs.The midwives told me that that the induction usually works really quickly if the cervix is nice and ripe, if your midwife could just get a finger inside your cervix after your sweep, thats a good sign.With my ds2 I had 2 lots of gel before I went into labour and then again it was very quick( under 3 hours).I look forward to reading your birth announcement!

good luck mosschops, if you have to be induced tomorrow its not so bad, I was induced with all but one of my 4 children and with the last one labour started after just one prost gel and she was born an hour later with no pain relief and no stitches...hope all goes well.

Good luck, hope you have a bouncing bubba by tomorrow evening.

I didn't know that, pupuce - really interesting. I'm not having any more babies but I could be tempted if you opened a MN Birthing Centre!

nailpolish · 09/01/2005 14:28

OH!

you would be inundated pupuce...

pupuce · 09/01/2005 14:23

I don't have a birth centre....
Would love to start one up though !

nailpolish · 09/01/2005 14:20

YOUR birth centre pupuce - how lovely!

fancy starting one up here? the maternity hospital here is very old fashioned

pupuce · 09/01/2005 14:16

Thank you that's very nice..... am hoping for Mosschops to end up at birth centre

nailpolish · 09/01/2005 14:15

pupuce - just wanted to say your posts are so interesting and reassuring. i always read them and smile

pupuce · 09/01/2005 14:11

marthamoo- can I add that inductions for medical problems tend to be easier (not saying less painful but better success rate) because your body needs to expell the baby to get better.... just thought I'd clarify this for everyone.

mosschops

probably been said a thousand times but both times i have been late - both times i had a madras the night before i went into labour

pupuce · 09/01/2005 14:09

well well well...... keep us posted!

marthamoo · 09/01/2005 14:04

And respect for managing to do the deed at your advanced state of pregnancy!

marthamoo · 09/01/2005 14:03

I only saw this thread this morning - poor you. Have no words of wisdom as I was early with both mine (induced 10 days early with ds1 for pre-eclampsia, naturally 15 days early with ds2). Just wanted to say that, while the birthing centre sounds lovely and I hope you do still make it there, my induction really wasn't all that bad. It was fast and very intense - but it was do-able.

Best of best wishes - whichever way, you'll be holding that baby boy soon.
