Induction

I can relate and was honestly considering a sweep 😭 but everyones telling me to wait it out until my dua date atleast, and I've made it to 39+4 so far. I'm just trying not to think so far ahead and take each day at a time instead of focusing on how much time I potentially have left 😭 which I know is easier said than done, trust meee I definitely get it

I was induced at 38+6 and had her at exactly 39 weeks due to SPD, I had to literally beg for it though I was so uncomfortable and in pain x

I was induced at 38+2 for different reasons BUT I very much wanted it for the same reasons as you! Induction started with pessary at 6am on Jan 1st, I was already 1cm dilated. 2pm checked cervix and I was 4-5cm, did a sweep. Went down to delivery, had waters broken at 7pm, gave birth at 04:38am on 2nd Jan. inductions can however take a few days so be prepared for that x

@Rachel okay that’s fair enough that’s helped a lot! Thank you.

@Chloe did your midwife try and talk you out of it x

I went to 41+2🥲🫠 was due to be induced 2 days after he actually arrived and I get it, being fed up and frustrated all you want is that baby out… all I’m gonna say is I’m glad I wasn’t induced… I hear a lot of horror stories about being induced as it’s not “natural” and a lot of people end up having an emergency C-section/ have other complications! I know it’s frustrating but hang in there I know you don’t want to hear it but baby will come when they’re ready and much easier if it’s natural!! X
