Any 'good' induction stories!

[LDNlady]

I'm due to be induced tomorrow and all I can find are horrible stories about induction and seeing as I'm nervous enough as it is I was just wondering if anyone has anything positive to say?

Yes I had two healthy babies due to being induced.

Hi, I was induced with my first, 2 days before my due date. I was only in labour for just under 4 hours and had quite an easy labour.

I think that people always tell you the horror stories - not sure why though??

Good luck

I had a good time too, 25 hours from start of induction to delivery, 10 hours active labour, healthy baby, all good :)

I think you hear more horror stories because people are keen to tell their birth stories if they didn't have a great time, as it is obviously playing on their mind, and those who had a good time don't really have anything to tell except that it was good! One of my closest friends was induced too and she had a good time too :)

Godd Luck :o

I was induced with the gel and immediately went into labour - DS arrived 1hr 57 mins later!!

Thank you ladies. I really dunno why it is that everyone likes to tell you the horror stories when you've never been through it and nervous as hell! And Dartfordmummy I sooooo want your labour! Wow! :)

I was induced, they tried 3 times with the gel, nothing happened. So they broke my waters and my baby was born with no problems 1hr 53mins later :) Good luck!

I was induced with two of the three of my girls
the first and second

I felt it was no different to my third, failry quick, easy, no complications, healthy babies

you'll be fine

Hopefully it's all going well, come back and let us know how it went when you have time! :)
