I AM GOING TO BE INDUCED EARLY!

[maldives]

Hi all.. just had my Dr appointment today...she asked me when would you like to have the baby I said today but she was serious and suggested sometime like tuesday 17th .. I agreed and would probably be induced then.. she said i'll be given gels and if nothing happens for 12 hours then i'll have a section.. i really dont wanna a section plz tell me its possible to dilate with gels only....??

Sorry Zobo , warrior princess i might pop first

if they didnt think it was possible they wouldnt do it.
good luck

Hi

Ive had 3 inductions all by gel and they were all natural births.

Ben my first had gel 8 in morning and again at 4 in the afternoon, he was born 1:57 next morning.

Lee my second had gel at 8 in the morning and again at 1, he was born 7:30 that evening

Tia had gel had half 6 in the evening and 2 hours later she was here

It seems strange they said only 12 hours to do a section if nothing happens. I know that definitely wasnt the case for me and that some ladies on here have gone longer than 12 hours on gel induction and carried on to have their babies naturally
Please Dont worry hun for the majority of cases it definitely does work but for some it doesnt.
Good luck with the induction on the 17th xx

I am not sure hun but ring up the local hospital and ask one of the midwifes/doctors.

Best of luck.

I'm sure you'll be fine hun...they wouldn't suggest it if it wasn't ok.
Good luck!!
How come they are inducing you early?
