I did get my partner and my mum with me the whole time, but overnight only one of them can stay. My pain was unbearable and I only made it through once I got the epidural. Since I got induced to when I pushed my baby out, 38 hours went past. It was horrible and I will never want to be induced again.
I don’t want to scare you and remember everyone’s body and experience are different!
Good luck girl xx you got this!

I had the Pessary, I believe that’s how it’s called. Contractions I would say, procedures were not painful at all x Only getting the epidural was personally painful for me but at that moment and for how desperate and in pain I was, an epidural was all I needed. I’m now pregnant with my second one and I’m hoping and praying to not be induced 😮💨

I was induced with the pessary with both my boys. Preeclampsia the first time and it only took 3 hours painful but got through it with gas & air im to scared of the epidural 😂 2nd took about 30 hours my partner stayed with me for both x
