Can I skip to the drip when induced??

[Clarabumps]

I'm booked in for induction on Tuesday 40+10 with my 3rd child. I've been induced twice before. The first time for pre eclampsia at full term and the second due to reduced movement at full term. The first time I was in for three days getting 3 prostagladin pessaries which did absolutely nothing due to a tilted cervix. I was then put on a drip and this started labour. The second time they just put me straight onto a drip and I delivered within 6 hours.

I had my midwife today and she said that the hospital would go through the full induction process including the pessaries. I can't face waiting in hospital for three days..I have two other kids to look after and they've just started school and nursery today. Can they not just start me on the drip. Do I have any say in what happens during my labour...I know I sound like i'm being impatient but I really can't face the ordeal of waiting in a hospital for it not to work, then be bollock tired and try to deliver a baby who is estimated at over 9lbs.
Help I need advice...Can I go in and demand just to go straight to drip???

Have you spoken to the Supervisor of Midwifes? It might be useful to get them involved at this stage. If that doesn't work you'll have another chance to discuss the process before it is started,

I've been induced twice, as long as cervix favourable, open enough that they can break waters then no need for gels etc.

I think they have to give gel first, to avoid having to give drip if necessary, the second time I was induced the gel was enough to kick everything off and didn't need drip,

Thanks for your advice. I was term plus 2 days with my first pregnancy and term plus 5 days with my second. They were able to break my waters both times pretty easily.
I had a sweep today..and i've had sweeps with the previous two pregnancies..but they can never reach the membranes as it is posterior?? and too far back too get anywhere. so the midwife said today anyways.She had a good fumble about today for ages and I was super relaxed..well i think my muscles have just went to buggery to be honest.
I'm just at the end of my rope. I could cry with frustration...

well the extra five days could make a difference! and if they can break your waters and your cervix feels soft this time (which it could do as it is your third baby and after you have had one your cervix doesn't completely close) they could just break your waters and get going with the drip!

good luck, i hope it doesnt take too long!

I was induced in may. It was my first induction after 4 natural labour. I was 34 weeks and my front waters had broken 10 days before. I was put straight on the drip with no pessaries. Took 14 hours to get to 4cms and then they broke the back waters and dd3 was born 20 mins after.
I thought they would give me the pessaries but they said no. So don't see why you can't go straight to the drip.
