Please can people distract me? Having a difficult induction

Hi everyone,

Sorry if this post is a bit weird and/or all over the place. I'm currently in the process of being induced and need to vent and would appreciate some distractions, be it funny stories, somebody to chat to, just anything.

I had the propess put in at 4:30pm and straight away my contractions became more regular and then became more intense and then more painful and now I'm here struggling to cope after having had codeine and paracetamol and I'm feel woozy and sick and out of it and OH went home to sleep right before things got worse but I want to let him sleep.... the women around me have been here longer but they're somehow coping and managing to sleep but I'm just in so much pain I have no idea how they're managing to do that, there's no way in hell I could possibly do that.

Baby's movements are making the pain worse.

Aghhh sorry for the rant, just feeling so overwhelmed and typing it all out is making me feel somewhat more grounded in reality and all of my friends and family are asleep so I have nobody to talk to to distract myself or anything.

Please pray for me that my cervix will be dilated enough later on to be able to progress to the next stage because I'm already completely and utterly exhausted and fed up!!!!!

Ah man, I feel for you! Have they said how dilated you are? It sounds like you're not far off things happening now and just try to remember that you'll soon have your baby to cuddle. (Very difficult in the pain stages I know but you will be fine!)

I've just got up for work and trying not to wake my whole house up but I keep banging into things or dropping things! Not on purpose! Oops! Keep us updated with things, hopefully by this afternoon/evening you'll be telling us that your little one is here ❤️

Just wanted to say good luck.

When I was being induced I found being on all fours leaning on the raised part of the bed felt so much more comfortable than being on my back.

Can you call your husband and get him to come back? This is part of what he should be supporting you through.
