Induction

[moose234]

Hi,
Can't sleep being induced in 3 hours time, at 37 weeks plus 5, can I hear your induction stories? Thanks

Hooray Moose!

Hopefully once your waters are broken you'll be away without any more intervention. Mine was six hours after that, but I hadn't had a single contraction prior to the ARM. Let us know how it goes...

That sounds good Moose. I was induced
with PROM and oxytocin after failure to progress. I'm not going to lie, it was painful, but then you expect that don't you.

I managed on gas and air and positivity. Every time it got too much I reminded myself this was a good thing and it meant I was getting closer to the end. At the point they say you feel like any more pain would kill you, I actually said thank god for that, I'm there!

Attitude is everything. It was sheer terror that stopped my labour, but once I had the drip sorting that bit for me, I could crack on with getting psychologically there.

I would do it again in a heartbeat (if mother nature would let me). Best experience ever.
