Pessary

I had a pessary with my first baby and experienced cramps but they were light contractions x completely normal, you'll probably expect to see your mucus plug soon

Thanks ☺️ how long did it take for you to go into labour? X

Yes a bit of mild cramping but nothing major, it wasn't until they put me on the monitor after the second one they seen I was having strong contractions, midwife kept coming in to ask if I needed pain relief, I was fine until the next night after the 4th one ( they were able to break my waters after the 3rd one but wanted to see what another one would do), I was ill and needed a bit of pain relief. I found heat packs worked wonders for the pain.

Ive had two pessary inductions, both had the same results. Contractions after 6 hours then progress very quickly within 30 mins and natural births. No tears. X

No beds were available the next day 😫 so it wasn't tuntil 4 days later I was only dilated 2 cm and had my waters broken and put on pitocin, every body is different though my labour was super slow

I had a pessery put in around 1am baby was here by 11.30 x
