Hi ladies,
I'm 40+12 with first baby. Booked in for induction on Saturday with no signs of impending labour. Two unsuccessful sweeps, no show, nothing.
I've (foolishly) been reading up on induction and I've come across all sorts of horror stories about back to back contractions at the start of labour and the need for epidurals and c-section risks being hugely increased and all sorts.
A far cry from my plans for a chilled out water birth. Midwife says I'll most likely need drip as cervix is very unfavourable; very posterior and very high. My hospital does three lots of pessaries then offers c-section or start you on a drip.
Does anyone have any positive induction stories? I've gone from being completely fine to being in a state of crippling fear and I don't know what to do.
