Tobily - I had two lots of gel over 24hrs. No drip. Is that normal?
That's the standard way they will start an induction if your cervix is closed. Two applications of gel having no effect on your cervix (ob couldn't sweep/rupture your membranes at all so cervix still closed) pretty much says to me that your body wasn't ready to birth yet.

Perhaps for the next bub you could look into different models of care - not all careproviders will induce you at 10 days post with an unripe cervix. Inductions where things have to be really forced like that usually end the way yours did crystalboo. Unfortunately it's an all too common story But things can be different next time!
