Currently sitting in hospital waiting to be induced ...I'm so scared

[bowgumdrop2018]

^ what the title says I couldn't be any more scared and don't know what to expect I haven't had anyone come round and talk to me yet as they are changing over staff and I can't control my anxiety ! I had a sweep earlier and really crampy

All the best ladies. Please keep us posted. Remember the pain is not forever and there's a baby after this.

Looking back, the thing I'd have done differently is to eat well or at least have some energy bars. I was already tired, hungry and worn out by the time my waters were broken. Went through 11hours of proper labour after I/V induction in that state.

Also take a shower as soon as you feel it's escalating or when they let you know it's nearly time to break the waters.

Try get some rest. Lie down and shut your eyes even if not sleeping.xx

Good luck to both of you! :)

I was induced eleven days ago and it was a very positive experience. I'd take that labour over my spontaneous one three years ago any day. You'll both do fine. Not long now! X

Hope all going well OP XXX

Good luck OP! I’ve been in your position!
