Tomorrow is induction day, any advice or tips from anyone who has experienced an induction recently? I don’t hear many positive induction stories!😳

All I’ll say is:
1. Advocate for yourself, if you want something or don’t want something make sure you tell them and don’t feel pressured into anything you don’t want to do.
2. If you can, keep yourself moving. I was on a CTG in bed the whole time and found it so difficult, movement and different positions are your best friends.
3. If you do get to a point where you think you may want a c section, do not eat anything for at least 2hrs before your estimated section time or you’ll be throwing it up real quick 😅.

I had one! My second, both children were induced and both successful! 2nd one from time of gel to birth was 12 hours...I did 10 mins of pushing! I was nervous with 1st too. Just expect to be in for quite a while and it can take days! 1st I went in on Sunday at 10am and he was born Tuesday 9pm! They say walk walk walk as much as possible to help get things moving! People are always more likely to tell bad stories than successes! Good luck!
