I was (reluctantly) induced at 40+1. My cervix was nowhere near ready so thought would be long and drawn out. Pessary was inserted at 1pm. After monitoring I went for walk round hospital grounds and while out felt a lot of tightenings. I was back on trace at 6:30pm and it was showing very regular contractions, but baby's heartbeat was a bit up and down with them. I was moved to labour ward so next pessary could be inserted there as a result. Before that could happen my waters suddenly went at 11pm and contractions gradually got worse.
I dilated fairly quickly over next few hours and used only tens and g&a. About 5am contractions were tailing off so I was put on the dreaded drip. I didn't need any extra pain relief and continued as I was.
All a bit blurry but baby ended up getting stuck (head in wrong position) so ended up with emsc as forceps weren't an option. I then lost a lot of blood, but baby born at 9am and he was perfect.
As much as I was wary and concerned about experience and outcome of induction, I'm glad I did it. Although the emcs and blood loss was a tough ending after labouring all night, we survived it and we could easily have ended up there with a natural start to labour.
I got home at lunchtime 2 days later, so spent 3 nights in hospital all in.
Hope all goes well for you, relax and go with the flow as much as you can, I found that attitude helped me deal with all the twists and turns thrown at us!
