Aww had to post to say good luck op..
Totally feel for you, was induced with my 1st, spent 5 days contracting and not dilating! Luckily DH stayed whole time had our own room, and went off to hospital restaurant and walks round grounds! Finally on day 4 at 1cm got put on drip, given epidural, waters broken, dilated through the night and got to 10cm, finally on day 5 after all morning and lunchtime waiting for her to come down more ready for pushing, I then spent an hour pushing, couldn't get her out, went to theatre, prepped for section, but they managed to pull her out with forceps! After history of miscarriages, was just hugely relieved to finally have our longed for baby!
Ds was a different story, also a planned induction due to gestational diabetes, went in about 4pm on due date, not seen til 7ish, told might be having mild contractions but really busy so probably wouldn't be inducing that night, DH went home to be with Dd to return in morning. About midnight lovely male midwife (one of same I had with DD) said they were quiet so could start me off, I was whooping and high fiving him, I figured it would be long winded like dds induction, got pessary about 1am, excitedly tx DH, midwife said if I woke for a wee after 3am pull cord so he could check me over rather than waking me, I woke at 3.30am, went wee, then starred shivering and chattering, suddenly intense back pain, thought it was due to the small bed! midwife gave paracetamol, hooked me up to traces, showed strong reg contractions getting stronger and more frequent, by now starting to scream in pain asked for epidural, but checked and was told only 1cm about 4.45am and offered pethidine which didn't want, called DH, huge pauses in conversation as I screamed through contractions, DH called his parents so he could come back to hospital but still expecting a long time, was probably now about 5. 30am, so relented to pethidine, midwife went to prep it, I'm in room on my own screaming, waters went, all I had was gas and air, but couldn't keep it in my mouth for screaming, midwife came back in room, I screamed about my waters going, he checked me and looked horrified as he buzzed emergency buzzer and midwives rushed in to whisk me to delivery suite as Ds was about to fly out! Went from 1-10cm in 90mins!
Ds came flying out in couple pushes and DH missed everything! Was actually a bit traumatic.. So, just wanted to say that births, inductions and hospital protocol can have such varying extremes, but all that matters at the end of it is your beautiful little baby in your arms! Best of luck op and I'll be lurking for news!
