I too had my DS at Logan. I had the gel and was able to walk shower and whatever else, I found it to be a very quick labour 3 hours but intense as I didn't have any drugs. hope my next labour in Feb is just the same.

Awesome pink as that's where I'm going so good to no u were able to still :)

I was induced at Logan Hospital 7wks ago.

I was able to walk around & use ball & shower, heat packs etc.

I was induced 2 days ago, I was only allowed out of the bed to go to the toilet and have a shower. I ended up having an emergency c-section cause bub was distressed after having the epi.

I had to stay in bed with a moniter coil on dd head. Only because I was induced- had no complications, apparently the gel can cause distress and babies need to be monitored constantly.

I could still feel.... Just I was numb so I still needed help walking but I know I had a partial and was able to get a booster every 20 mins by pushing a button... When it got too bad my lovely man had to push the button for me lol but I was on the ball for most of it I couldn't imagine laying on the bed the whole time I would of been in agony..... And I went to the toilet with the epi too so had to walk (with help lol)

I was induced at 42 weeks and walked around and had showers until after 20 hours when I had an epi

Amanda wow I didn't no u could still walk after a epi how do they do that ? I though epi makes u numb n can't feel anything

I had epi but wasn't stuck on bed i could still walk around with help

I was Induced on 40+1.

I had the epi pretty early so I was stuck on the bed :(

Thank you so much girls I have been stressing that I wouldn't be able to get out bed Im hoping to have showers n walk as I can't really have anything for the pain as I'm allergic to morphine and codeine and epi is out as i has previous old fracture in disk L4-5 where it needs to go :( this is my first time so I'm hoping gas n showers n walking will get me though :) xxx

I was induced when my waters broke at 38+1. I was positive to GBS and nothing was happening so I had to be induced. I was able to walk around and use the ball. I never had a shower, it was never offered and honestly it was the last thing I wanted ? Good luck hun!

I only needed gel and that started my labor so I got to shower and walk around as much as I wanted. My induction was really easy. It was my second :)

My waters were broken for over 24hrs with no progression. They started the drip and I had him in an hr after the drip had started. But couldn't move due to the monitors. Very very painful. All I has was gas but they took it off me.

After they broke my waters I walked around to try to get contractions starting on their own. Nothing though. Once you're on the drip you have to stay put. But seriously, once you're on the drip hard contractions start straight away and you are in active labour very quickly.

I was induced, but had to stay on monitors the whole time so I wasn't allowed to get up other then to go to the toilet. After I started having contractions and needing the toilet a lot, they discovered baby was posterior so I was advised to have an epi as the more I needed to go to the toilet, the more I wanted to push.. Not such a good thing when your cervix isn't ready. I had an emergency c section later that revving.

With my first, I was induced with the drip because my waters broke and I wasn't progressing. I tested positive for GBS so they didn't want to wait. I had to have a monitor attached to me the whole time, the drip and the antibiotics so I was bedridden. I ending up having an epi.

With my second, bubs was posterior and there was no time for drugs. As he was sitting on my spine, I couldn't move the pain was that bad. Active labour was only 30 mins but I couldn't move out of the bed either.

I was induced 2 days before due date waters were broken and was started on pitocen (sp?) I had a great labour I also had epidural and spent most my time on the ball I was only moved to bed when I had to start pushing... Out of the 2 labours my second was the best was calm and relaxing I can't wait for number three :) strange I know :)

I was induced at 38 weeks, they broke my waters and then put me on the drip, I had to have the ctg machine on for my whole labour but my hospital had 2 portable/wireless ones so I could have one of those on which enabled me to get out of bed and move around and it was waterproof so I could have a shower, the monitors kept moving around and losing bubs heartbeat which was a pain as I'd have to stop whatever I was doing so the midwife could adjust them

For me the induction worked a treat as my labour was only 3hrs 20mins

Goodluck! 😕

Hey hun i had the gel and it bought on contractions but my water broke on its own. I progressed to slowly so they put me on the drip and i had her within 5 hours. I only had gas for the pain. Was very painful but bearable. Glad i didn't go down the road of a epi. I was still able to move freely around :)

I also think there is a gel but rbwh doesn't use it, they'll also give you internal checks and if they can reach your waters they will break them if they haven't already gone. Gl !

Hey Hun, my waters broke on their own but after 24 hours of no change i was put on the drip (syntocin) for 12 hours. It didn't work for me at all, completely unchanged leading to a c sec however while i was on the drip i was still able to go to the toilet, have a shower and walk a bit around the room.
