Being induced on Wednesday at 38 weeks
Can you opt to just go straight on the drip to not waste time?
All I've heard is the pessaries don't work 🙄

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I was just shy of 40 weeks when I got induced in my first pregnancy. They did the pessary and when they checked 12 hours later it hadn’t done anything. So they put a second one in and after a further 6 hours it had worked. They then broke my water and put me on the drip and son was born about 8 hours after that.
Good luck x
