I was induced with my first and I was completely in control of everything. I had the gels at midday and then was left until the next morning at 8am for AROM. It wasn't until 2pm that I had the synto and even then it was a tiny dose until I'd had enough of all the waiting and asked for it to be turned up at about 6pm that night.

I had wireless monitoring so I was still walking around lots, in the shower etc. Definitely insist on that.

My girl ended up being born without any further intervention just after 10pm on the second night. You can get through an induction without it leading to forceps, c-sections etc - just make sure you dictate the timeline and give bubs the chance to catch up with the fact he's been given an eviction notice.

Best of luck.
