Kel,

I emailed you before, so as for the extra questions...

*Were you told / were you aware of what effects induction medication has on you as the mother? If so, what?
*Were you told / were you aware of what effects induction medication has on the baby? If so what?

During our antenatal class we were given a book that went into a lot of detail about the pros and cons of having an induction including the possible effects on both the mother and the baby. It wasn't really discussed in depth though and although I read through it I didn't really make much of an effort to remember it as for some reason it never occurred to me that I'd be having one LOL #-o When I actually had the induction nothing was mentioned about the effects on the mother & it was only after the gel had been inserted that the midwife told me I'd have to be monitored frequently because it might cause the baby to go into distress.
