Have any moms had something called a gel ripening done? I haven't dilated more than 1 cm and my due date is tomorrow. So my dr has me going to L & D on Wednesday for a gel ripening. she told me I would go in get it done and they will hold me for two hours then send me home. That's all I kno. Can anyone explain to me what exactly they will do and y they keep me for 2 hours afterwards?

It's gel to help you dialate and they keep to observe how fast or slow it makes you go into labor

@mommyto3girls1boy, but if they keep me to see how fast or slow I go into labor y did they say they would send me home after 2 hours? And do u kno what exactly they do during a gel ripening? Like how they put the gel in or if it hurts or anything like that?

Depends on your cervix all in all. Everybody is different, maybe uncomfortable . They put gel on your on cervix to help dialate
