Dilapan Induction

Thought I’d share my experience for anyone who’s thinking of having this! This is my first baby, I have cholestasis so induction was needed. I decided to go with the non hormonal method first which are 5 rods that are put in and slowly expand I believe! I came in at 1pm but had the rods put in at 4:45, they were put in with the speculum and was definitely uncomfortable so I had gas and air. Unfortunately they all fell out so had to be put back in manually, this I would say was more painful but once done it was fine. Afterwards it basically felt like my period would be coming tomorrow. They get left in for 15 hours - overnight and this morning I had tightenings.. They took them out this morning and I’ve gone from 1cm to 3cm so just waiting to go up and have my waters broke - they worked really well for me but yeah! Any questions let me know!
