Thanks girls! Excited but very scared at the same time. Xx

I was induced. Had pessary at 9am, waters went at 3pm, then put on a hormone drop to speed up contractions (it hurts like a bitch!) had my little boy at 9pm so only in for 12hours. I did have to have forceps though as babies heartrate kept dropping. Don't worry Hun, just think, once it's over you'll have your baby & that's all that matters 💖

I was induced had a pessary didn't really work only a little bit! i was already 2cm that pain wasnt to bad just gas and air. I then had the drip which didnt take long to work probably 4-5 hours tops straight to pushing! had my little boy within 1hr 15 overall a good induction to meeting my little one.

@lou6888, I was exactly the same I was petrified before the section because I wanted a natural birth but I couldn't,it was the safest for my daughter I never had the epidural it was a spinal block similar procedure to an epidural,but since it had my daughter it's worth the pain and all the worries as I was in hospital from the 16/8 till the 23/8 due to her heart rate dipping and my blood pressure being high

@daisysmummy, ^^@dannielle1996 Danielle's story is what I'm worried about 😭😭. Just worried it won't work then end up in theatre. Biggest fear is epidural and section xx

I was induced at 38+3 because of gestational diabetes,I was given propess that is 12 hours then got examined and my cervix remained closed so was given this gel which takes 6 hours to work and I was having contractions but nothing progressed :/ so on the 20/8 I was told I will have an emergency c-section due to the induction failing and was told to be nil by mouth on the 21/8 so I didn't eat from half 8 in the morning 😩 and then was taken to theatre about 3/4 ish and had my daughter on the 21/8 at 17:17, had a spinal block so I was numb from just under my chest down

I was induced :) I had a pessary which worked almost straight away! What are you afraid of? xxx
