So I've had a sweep and stretch on Monday to start my induction. Im 37+2 due to GD they wanted to start me early. Wednesday i was admitted for my full induction process which included having the dilpan rods fitted, had some what i thought was intense period pains that just coming on and off had the rods removed at 3:30am then sweep again i was 2cm dilated. Had nothing inserted after that. Yesterday i had on and off lower backache and cramps but nothing intense. This afternoon around 12:15 doctors examined me said i was maybe 1/2cm dilated she couldn't tell cause i was so tense but my cervix were soft. They put the pessary in since then i have had a really dull backache and period cramps. Is the pessary starting to work i know it says it can 24hrs to get the full effect. I feel like ive run a marathon my thighs really ache i never had this with the rods i know they have no hormone properties to cause contractions. I feel more confident with this pessary.
Any good experience's or success stories with the pessary will be helpful to distract me 😊
