CantSleepWontsleep is being induced tomorrow. She's disappointed that she won't get a live birth thread. Come and console her here.

[CantSleepWontSleep]

And whilst you're here, feel free to answer any of the following...

What does one wear for induction - nightie ready for it all kicking off, or normal clothes for wandering around hospital in?

Anything else I should add to my hospital bag that I'm more likely to want with an induction?

If the prostoglandin stuff doesn't work, can I decide at that point to leave it, as I don't want my waters broken or the drip?

Would they be able to tell from a scan whether my placenta was still functioning just fine, whereby a few more days wouldn't hurt?

I'll be 40+5, and the induction is because I have gestational diabetes. It's standard practice to induce between 38 and 40 weeks for this, but I've been 'allowed' to go over because my control of it has been good.

At last! Hope things have got going now. Good luck!

Isn't he hear yet?

This is the last thread i look at before i go to work and the first when i get home.

"No contractions yet but got another 35 mins before they try and get me on a drip. Dancing to try and get him moving."

Those who have had ARM - how long until first contraction!

I was induced the Wednesday night and DD not born until latish on Friday night, and then only because I had a c section. Neither the induction or the breaking of my waters helped.

Hope it is quicker for CSWS - fongers crossed very soon.

Actually how long has she been in now? Since Monday? That is ages!!!

Mine started 1 hr after arm

Ohdear - were you IN labour, or part of induction?

the induction tales don't sound good!

Ooooooh! Exciting!

Off to bed now though!

And dance and wriggle and dance and wriggle. And breathe and breathe and puuuuuush!

arm to contractions about 2 hurs. midwife walked in with the drip, saw me breathing through a contraction and walked out with a 'well we wont be needing this'

is that a better story?

flame - usually give 2 hours before the drip for a multip.

Good luck CSWS - I feel like coming up and delivering your baby myself this thread has gone on so long

I was 5cm dilated (had been so for 48 hours)but no contractions at all. Hadn't had the gels or anything else.

1 hour after ARM my waters gushed out, contractions started immediately after that, and ds2 born 1.5 hours later.

Much better misdee

Come on CSWS - from a fellow Feb 06 girl!

I'm on the December thread - and you won't be joining us - honestly!

Best of luck - get the hips wiggling!!!!
