This is my second birth, first 3 days of pessaries 18hrs of pitocin drip epidural and EMCS... Everything I didn't want!
This time I'm 40+7 and my waters broke last night at 23.40 as I'm a VBAC hopeful they let me home after baby checks were fine. Contractions got stronger and stronger got 10mins apart and stopped at 10am... So disappointed. So now they have stated again since 5pm 15mins apart on my birthing ball bouncing like a mad woman but will have to go in to be checked at 10pm when they are planning on giving me x1 pessary. If no joy... It's the drip again for me.
Please share your experiences of pessaries and has anyone had pitocin and not needed an epidural?
