I was induced at James Cook but because I went in for reduced movements, I was induced 1 day before my due date.

My experience overall was brilliant.

One of the women inserting my pessary did a sweep without my consent though which I found extremely painful and also quite unsettling.

But being induced as a whole was completely fine, I did get an epidural though.

I was induced at 39 weeks due to having a ‘big baby’

My experience was brilliant my midwife was lovely and had a student midwife in with her aswell who was also really lovely!

I was 3cm dilated so jumped the first steps of induction and got my waters broke and eventually started on the hormone drip

While getting induced the midwives stay with you so while I was in the delivery suit for 7 hours we bonded and it was like having my friends in the room.
I heard so many horror stories about induction but it was so much nicer than my natural labour with my first

James cook also only allow you to go a week overdue before they induce or get you booked in for induction x

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
