Tell me about your induction

Due to having a baby that's measuring large (estimated 8lb at 38wk5days) I've been booked an induction for next week.

This is my first pregnancy and I'm a little scared of what the induction process can involve. I was hoping for a natural water birth, which I've been told is no longer an option as I'm not low risk anymore :(

Please tell me your experience of being induced so I can have a rough idea of what to expect.

At this point my anxiety is stronger than my excitement of meeting my baby, please send positive vibes!

@Newmumatlast when is your balloon induction scheduled for? I had mine inserted this morning and it really wasn't as bad as I worried it might be. Balloon was inserted around 10am, left the hospital right away and I'm starting with contractions already! Hopefully won't be much longer. Hope your experience isnt too bad either xx
