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.

noooooooooooooooooooooo

we were getting all excited!!

does he not know that exciting hormonal women on MN is a bad bad thing

Flamebat · 08/10/2008 17:52

Ooh I have a text!!

"Aaargh - labour ward full and has 2 emergencies so they can't take me. looks likely that I will have to wait until 8am tomorrow. Frustrated now!"

She has to keep her pretty socks on til morning, and it is very like Rachel in friends - women coming in, having one pessary and then off for their babies .

We are forgiving the woman who has been there since Sunday and has now gone for a drip.

Flamebat · 08/10/2008 17:58

I have just realised that MrCSWS passed the phone across and actually said "Its Flame"
