Unfortunately there really isn't much you can do hun, but there are a few things that could help. You can ask for a good amount of time to be allowed after each stage of indcution. For eg. I had the gel inserted at 9pm and then 8am and we waited a few hours. My waters were broken at midday and tehy gave me a few hours to see if that could trigger labour. I then had the drip started at 2pm, and you can ask them to start it on the absolute minimum to try and get labour to begin gradually rather than starting with really intense contractions. I never had any fetal distress whatsover but even after all of that AND I got to 9cms dilated I still ended up in theatre for a c/s for "failure to progress" after 36 hours. 9 cms is failure to progress?Pfftt. So if you do end up having one ask for time between each stage to allow your body to go into labour naturally using those methods. Having said that if your body isn't ready like mine was - a few hours here or there didn't make any difference and the odds are a little stacked up against you BUT you could be in the minority like some of the gorgeous girls on here who are induced and basically have a textbook labour with no complications hun. Hard to say! Good luck with it all!
