I was induced with Cairenn at 38 weeks - with epidural. She got stuck but eventually came out lol!! That birth was hard and painful but mainly because she was posterior presentation.

With Liam, I was induced at 36w 6d and had another epidural. His birth was a pleasure and much easier, then again, he was only 6lb 7oz where Cairenn was 8lb.

I had my inductions due to gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, and expect the same again this time round. Oh and I will definately have another epidural.

All you can do is ask (or beg)!!

Best wishes
