NHS Induction experiences

[MCMP13]

Hi

I came into hospital Wednesday to be induced, had the 4 pessaries over 2 days and been having on and off contractions today, the next step is to break my waters. I was told about 7 hours ago they would do this but an emergency came in. Just wondering what others experiences are with this? How long did you wait for them to break your waters? Did you wait days?

Also - if your water were broken , how long from this did it take for your baby to be born?

I know it’s different everywhere and for everyone but I am really bored waiting and just wanting to hear others experiences. Thanks xx

Congratulations 💙

Congratulations @MCMP13 !

Hoping things are underway for @20viona

Congrats @MCMP13

Good news here too, I had a sweep at 1pm and I was 2cm dilated, had my waters broken at 3.15pm and the drip began at 6.45pm, baby in my arms at 10.18pm

My second baby was induced. It took 18 hours for the pessary to start true contractions. I had my waters broken at about 11am and she was born just after 3. Very easy compared to my first birth which was not induced.

Ah just seen your baby is already here. Well done OP and huge congratulations. Also amazed at you still posting while you were on the drip!!!

My induction was very quick and easy compared to my first bursts when I laboured naturally. My waters were broken at 10.40pm and she arrived by 2am!

Thank you everyone, just excited to be discharged and home now!

@YukoandHiro i posted after, that thing is the devil I couldn’t believe the pain! Xx

Yay! Congratulations @20viona !
