Induction Ladies

i’ve just found out the i’m going to have to be induced at 39 weeks on the nhs and i’m worried will my partner get to stay with me the whole time what was everyone’s experiences i don’t want an epidural is that manageable?

What was your experience? I've been told I probably wont have to have gel/pessary/balloon as cervix is favourable and babys head is low and engaged.

I’m looking for positive inductions where you didn’t have an epidural. I’m likely going to be induced around 39-40 weeks due to high bmi and I’m quite nervous about it. I also have some fear around getting an epidural (have heard a lot of stories of lingering back pain afterwards) and am hoping to avoid getting one. Please share your positive stories with me! Thank you so much!

I have a question about induction for those who have had it done. Let’s say I don’t go into labor, (FTM) and I need to schedule an induction, do some women just go straight c-section? Has induction worked and not lead to c-section? I know the stats state that there are more complications and a higher chance of c-section with induction so just kind of curious. I obviously don’t know what’s going to happen but I’m preparing for all scenarios. My mom and sister never went into labor and both has c-sections for all their children which I do know genetics plays a part!

Hi! Could you please share your induction experiences at QC and other uk hospitals?How long would that take? Which steps you had to go through? How easy was all the process?
