ECV followed by induction

[MyDogIsCool]

I'm having an ECV followed by being induced at 37 weeks due to having severe asthma and having 3 exacerbations and needing steroids since the start of winter, and it's only going to get worse (always does this time of year)
My question is, does anyone have any advice, tips, any experience of having these done at all? Suddenly feels real and I'm a bit (very) scared (1st baby)

I had an ECV at 37 weeks then eventual induction at 41+3 for being overdue. baby FINALLY make an appearance at 41+6.

Get someone to drive you too and from the ECV if poss. The muscle relaxant made me feel shakey as it wore off.
Feel your tum during it if allowed. Apparently you can really feel your baby as the uterine muscles are relaxed.

Regarding induction... it will be long. Take a book. Take your phone. Take a charger. You'll be hooked up and monitored so you won't be moving anywhere.
You will be monitored and won't be able to eat since you "might need a c-section at any moment". So get a decent meal in you before you go to start the drip.

I was too timid to stop and use BRAIN at each stage. I really recommend it so you are well informed. Induction IS a railroad no matter what you'll be told.

I had my waters broken. Honestly it was excruciating and I wasn't warned it might hurt. It took 3 goes and an epidural. I have spoken to two other people who had ARM during an induction and they also found it painful. Sorry but you might not be warned at all.
