Hi, well currently 6 days over and had check up today cervix is closed and prosterior also monitored babies heart rate and everything is fine but had ultrasound to check fluid and it is pretty low so they have booked me for an induction with the gel on thursday. Have mixed feelings of excitement and fear, and it seems more of a reality that I am actually going to have a baby now.
Have you tried some natural methods to help induce labour? You could try raspberry leaf tea and/or nipple stimulation (with midwife/OBs okay), sex (semen helps to ripen the cervix) or exercise. There are some others such as spicy food which are meant to work by causing sympathetic contractions of the uterus because the spicy food is meant to cause you to go to the toilet, but this isn't a good way to try an induce labour IMO! Good luck
Yep I have tried a couple of things to bring it on naturally but no change at all. I know most pregnancies are generally 42 weeks but having had two miscarriages all I care about it getting bubs out safely and if there is not much fluid then induction is what is best. I am pretty scared just from the stories I have heard about induction and this isnt how I pictured it happening for me but I just want bubs safely in my arms.
Wishing you the best of luck for a great labour Salad. I too was induced and it wasn't what i had hoped for. But many BB gals posted in a thread at the time about good induction stories. I'll see if i can find the thread to give you a few positive vibes.
