Being induced tomorrow, can't sleep

[Dippy001]

I had my DD at 28 weeks, it was as emcs and a very traumatic pregnancy as a whole. This pregnancy has been fine until a membrane sweep on Thursday showed some sort of blood vessel/ calcification at the opening of the cervix. My consultant looked in there with a TORCH (!) and couldn't see a blood vessel but to be safe she recommended I'm induced asap. I'm already 2cm dilated so it's straight to breaking waters. I'm so stressed now. I just want a healthy baby, don't care if it's c-section again or whatever. Sigh sigh sigh

Anyone been induced like this out there tonight?

howmany weeks are you now?
you will be fine...praying for you ...let us know how you get on...and do try to get some sleep

hello i was induced last friday and am feeding my beautiful daughter as i type. don't worry (like i did!) the miidwifes and consultants will take good care of you. my birth was not the water birth and breathing i had planned (lasted on drip with no pain relief for 2 hours) as i had epuidural, but fuck it who cares and it now seems like a year ago which is odd... Keep us posted if you can, hope you got some sleepies x

Had a bit of sleep on and off. Can't help but worry, just want baby to be ok. Had been fine but having 2 consultants spend a good 30 minutes looking up my hoo-ha scared the crap out of me. Fingers crossed. Read a thread about having a drip and have decided to ask for epidural straight off if breaking waters doesn't get me into labour. I'm 39 weeks now which is fantastic.

Good luck! Hope you are on here tomorrow typing one handed with your newborn in the other hand! Xx

Best of luck with it and I know hard but do try not to worry. I had 2 inductions - one with pessary/breaking waters and 1 with drip. I was petrified of drip given stories I'd read and been told at nct class but was honestly fine. I had lovely kind midwife who increased dose really slowly and tens got me through most of it with only gas and air at the end. So I think it depends really - imagine if it is all fast epidural
would help but perfectly possible to be ok without. In fact in some ways that labour on drip was more peaceful than either waters breaking induction or natural labour with dc3.

I was induced at 37+6 with PE and ended up having DD at 38+5 by EMCS. I had had all the pessaries, gels and sweeps over the week but they ARM'd and put me on syntocin but still failed to dilate past 4cm.

I have no frame of reference as dd is my first, butthe contractions on syntocin were dog awful. Get the epi!!!!

Good luck!!
