Hi everyone,
I'm scheduled to potentially be induced on Friday (unless baby comes before then- which I doubt will happen ) so was wondering if there is anyone who has had a recent experience of induction at Chelsea and Westminster hospital and would like to share their experiences...thank you!!

July so not that recent but

  • they were using balloon rather than pessary so they can send you home
  • I was already dilated so had neither and they broke my waters upfront and put me on the drip
  • I didn't have epidural straight away but when the contractions got going man alive it hurt and I begged for one
  • once that was in I didn't feel a thing
  • ultimately ended in a c section due to Fetal distress but all the staff were brilliant throughout
  • try and get some sleep before and during if possible. I went in off an insomniac night the night before at home and was pretty out of it by the end.
  • Partner was able to me there throughout

Do you have any specific questions?
