Started induction

I am 39 weeks and was booked for induction on 8th Friday but the Induction team called me only by 9th midnight and I was in hospital by 1am, after examining they realised my cervix is closed and so inserted cervical ripening balloons and it hurts when they inserted it with force but gave me gas and air which I haven’t used. After an hour I started having cramps every 5-10mins which hurts badly but they gave me paracetamol and can manage now. Will update further 🤞

Update
After 24hrs they took ballon out and I am 3cm dilated and ready to break waters. I was having contractions until 4pm yesterday and it stopped. I was able to manage pain with paracetamol and codine.

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar
