I’m now day 2 after having pessary fitted for 24hrs.
Cervix is favourable 1cm and not posterior anymore but now having the gel and still not having contractions😫how long did it take for anyone else to have things moving with the gel?
The midwifes tell me to keep moving but the ward I was on last night was extremely busy and ladies screaming in pain had me already on 0 sleep.
So exhausted and already over this

This sounds like hell. Sorry ! I’ve not had this yet but due tomo for induction. Wondering if it was your choice to stay in hospital or could you not have had an outpatient induction then you could go home and rest?

Bless you heart. Have you got access to a ball? Go wild on one of them and eat / drink plenty during this time. Try and sleep if you can because you’ll really want some energy when things kick in xx
good luck lovely! so many woman on the ward go quick so fingers crossed for you. So with the pessary I was told no as every 4/6 hours I had to be monitored and make sure babjes heart rate was all good from the pessary xx
