Induction wait time / waters

In hospital day 4 waiting for waters to be broken after dilapan rods on Monday. I feel tightenings and baby moving lower / some more pressure. I’m walking and ball bouncing like crazy but want to hear any other things that have worked for anyone that helped waters to go.

seems like I could be in here for days on end waiting for space and was brought in early as I’m ‘high risk’, not that I’m being treated like a priority. Very fed up so any help or advice appreciated

Hi @Needwaterstogo
I had a balloon induction which was taken out 24hrs later but i waited days for a labour bed to be available. In that time it was like i was starting again and need not have had the induction. While i was waiting I really regret not walking like the nurses said, they kept saying walk walk walk but i didn't. I think if i had it would have speed things up!
Hope it's not too long till a space is available, all the best in your labour xx
