I was induced at 36+4 due to PROM and pre eclampsia, 10 hours from drip to baby being born, had a very positive labour and she’s been such a happy healthy little girl, now 2 years old and absolutely no problems from being a bit early

Not induced but dd1 was born at 36 weeks, absolutely no issues, no need for any extra care and is now an incredibly grouchy teenager. Hope it’s all gone well x

I really hope it goes well. My last induction was at 42 weeks so sorry not much help but it was very positive . Expecting my next this week with induction at 39 weeks .

Not induced but my dd also arrived at 36 weeks, and didn't need any additional care at all.
We were home less than 24 hours later.

I was induced with both of mine, one because I was 42+1, the other was termed a "social induction", at 40 weeks (husband is a medic and was due to start a new job 100 miles away 6 days later.

Both inductions were fine, meant labour started, I was observed and both babies delivered fine.

I hope all is going well for you.

I was induced because DS was too comfy and the best advice I was given was once you start the induction pathway it will only stop when the baby arrives. Take all the drugs they offer - there are no awards for doing without. For me what helped was going with the flow.

Hope it goes well xxx
