I’m 41w+12 tomorrow and getting induced! This is my first baby and I’m super nervous for tomorrow... I’ve read up some things to expect but wanted to hear some other people’s stories that have already experienced it. Is there anything I should prepare for? Is it really that bad?
I’m so excited to finally get to meet my little girl though, it’s HORRIBLE being this overdue Sad (posted this on the pregnancy board but someone suggested I’d get more replies on here Smile )

I have been induced twice, first with baby no.2 and no.3.

I found my first induction the easiest out of my labours, every labour is different so please don't worry too much.

I was overdue on my induction 42 weeks. I had first pessary just before 1pm and contractions started roughly 1-2 hours later. My contractions came hard and fast, I went down to labour ward around 7:25pm and my baby arrived at 7:50pm.

I would suggest keeping active if your able to, try get up walking around the hospital or on bouncing ball etc.

My 2nd induction took 2 pessarys to get things going but I was induced early but again, it wasn't too bad or long.

Hope everything goes ok for you op and baby. Good luck 🙂

I was induced with my second baby.

The pessary was inserted at 1am and contractions started within minutes. My baby was born an hour and 40 minutes later. Apparently I was very sensitive to the prostaglandin.

Every induction is different though. It could be like mine or it could take a few days.

Good luck with everything! Don’t be scared! It’s 100% true that when you’re going through it you will just cope, the strength just comes from somewhere, like magic Smile
