2nd round of pessary now. Been here since Monday. Getting monitored every 4hrs. 1 cm and a bit. Another check in 24hrs unless I contract or my waters break before the 24 hr mark. Been doing stairs, on the ball, walking. Idk what else to do lol. Stubborn boy but love him to bits 🩵 would love to know similar stories if so xx

I had my baby on 28th June. I was the same 😂 also a stubborn boy 🩵. I got induced on the Friday with the induction tablets 16h later they checked and said it’s done nothing you are 1cm. I was gutted because I was having contractions! Then a consultant came to me and gave me some other options. They offered the pessary (24h), or the folly balloon (12h). I had been in there at this point for a day and half so was fed up, so agreed to the balloon. 12h later ( Sunday morning). They took it out, I was 4cm!!! I then had to wait a further 15h for a midwife and room to come available. Went into the labour ward, got my waters broke, went on the drip, had a nice chill for 2h with mild contractions. Them BAM!!! 8.36pm my contractions went from 0-100!! I couldn’t talk for the pain 😂 I was trying my hardest to ask for first level pain relief ( paracetamol) because I thought I was in for a long ride. 26 minutes later he came into the world!!! I hope things start to move for you xx
