Today! Gulp.

41 weeks today, but have high BP so going in now. Feeling mix of excitement and intense nervousness! Had sweep yesterday and plug's still there so could be a very long process with pessaries etc.

I guess you could say "sh*t just got real people!". Gah!

Any words of advice from prior inductees? I have a stack of magazines/books and a fully loaded iPad. Wink

Take your fave pillow, itll be mega uncomfortable at times and i loved having my pregnancy banana pillow Smile
Prepare for it to be several days, you may be one of the lucky 1 day induction people but 3 days is more likely but could be anything up to 7 (like me!).
If you have to go on the drip, EAT BEFOREHAND! I went 40 hours without food, it was horrible Sad And research c sections just in case- i had to sign for one within 5 minutes and i didnt fully understand the risks etc.
Good luck and congratulations! Let us know how you get on!! Grin
