Induction at QC

Hey, I am in Essex. I had the pessary (at 36+5) and hey presto that's all I needed, I reacted & dilated very quickly (probably too quick) and had an episiotomy + forceps.

I had a great experience not at QC. But was inducted at 42 weeks at 11am, had the pessary and choose to stay at the hospital while we waited for this to work. I went in to a labour ward with contractions at 4:30pm and had my little girl at 2:30am. Natural both just had to be cut slightly and on gas and air.

I was induced at 37 weeks due to placenta failure and had the whole shebang - pessaries, gel, water broken, and pitocin but had a vaginal birth with a 2nd degree tear that was fine healing wise!

I was so unbelievably nervous about induction in general but next time will be happy to do it. It was really straightforward and I had a positive experience overall. The only thing I'd do differently is accept the epidural from the get go, as the pitocin affected me so fast.

I was at Frimley park hospital.
