Don't Want To Be Induced But...

[Kirst11]

Whoa! Wasn't expecting this news when I opened the thread! Good luck Fiona!

My update though (becasue I was asked) is that the OB is leaving any intervention in my court. I am booked for an induction next week just in case things don't go my way, but have the option of cancelling it at any time. I'm feeling pretty good and relaxed today, so maybe I won't need it, and I can let bub come in its own time. But at least the option is there.........

Just hoping that it decides to greet us soon.

Okey dokey - getting a bit grumpy now. Pains/contractions still all over the shop - sometimes 2 mins apart, sometimes 5 mins, sometimes 10 mins. Sometimes v hurty, sometimes not. So still in pre-labour . But in enough pain not to be able to sleep through for third night in a row. And this has been going on for more than 12 hours.

So tomorrow, if nothing happens overnight, I'm going to bite the bullet and get induced because I'm just sick of wondering what's happening, whether this pain is comparable to actual labour pain and I'm driving myself around the twist.

The fun of pre-labour hey You may find it picks up overnight for you, especially given your waters have broken I am sure it will pick up very soon.

In established labour, you will have contractions that will increase in strength to 90+ seconds long and come every 2-3 mins and they will increase in strength of course. You'll need your energy, try and get lots of sleep tonight and rest up. You'll fare better if you have energy and strength.

Wishing you all the very best Fiona...

Take care!
