inducement

I am being induced this Saturday.. unless of course anything happens before. But I'm a bit scared (I don't really know why) could anyone please tell me about their past experiences about being induced or refer me to a website?

  • hey i got induced 10 days after my due date it's nothing to worry about it's scary knowing that within a few hours you'll be in labour but im sure you'll be fine and after you get induced labour is just like any other labour hope this helps a little xx

  • It really does help thanks @Jodie_ - you're not the only one @katherine - I'm going to be induced this Friday. REALLY scared. I'm on my fourth but never had to be induced before. I'll keep fingers crossed for both of us that we go into labour naturally before Friday and Saturday come along.

    This website is pretty good: http://www.babycentre.co.uk/pregnancy/labourandbirth/labourcomplications/inducedlabour/

    I always go to babycentre for stuff anyway. It's helped me with info through the whole pregnancy. Goodluck hun! xxx

  • @katherine - just found this:

    http://www.nice.org.uk/nicemedia/live/12012/41255/41255.pdf

    MASSIVE pdf document, produced by the NHS, for this country, for what we will be going through. Really long winded, you'll have to skip through some pages to get to the bits you personally need. It's an official one so it covers EVERYTHING. Hope it helps! xxx
