Hi to all the lovely ladies who answered my questions about induction. I had a really positive experience - it took 24 hours and 3 lots of gel to get me having contractions (ow!) and I did lots of reading and eating while I waited - quite relaxing actually! Of course, the minute I sent my other half off to get pizza for dinner my waters broke and sent me into get-me-an epidural NOW territory. I was 7 cm dilated already - in about 3 hours - so it all went really fast from there. Into delivery, epi in, baby out - my super midwife gave me a deadline... which was great, I found! Because she wanted the baby out by 3am I kept on checking the clock going 'OK, only 25 mins left... must push harder!" and I made it with 7 mins to spare! My son was born at 2:53am, and he's perfect.
Again , thanks for all the help. I was so nervous, but I'd do it again in an instant.

Thats good to hear misty. Its always the way, send the oher half out for something and everything happens. happened both times with me. First MW went to get changed and second DH went to go and get some dinner.

He was 8lb 5 oz which just goes to show how WRONG the scans can be! A whole pound under estimated weight!

I was induced and it took 2 days for the gel to do anything. Then had my waters broken and 5 hours later Briahna was here
