Hi
I've had two inductions with the drip - the first was successful and was a vaginal birth, the second failed and DS was born by emergency caesar.
Both labours involved extremely full on contractions that just started out of nowhere and hit like a ton of bricks. There was no build up to allow my body to adjust and the first labour was very long - 18 hours of these contractions a few minutes apart. Utterly exhausting but I still had a VB for that birth so I was happy with that.
Obviously not happy about the way my second induction panned out and am still trying to deal with that.
Knowing what I know now I would never be induced again - in my case I don't believe it was entirely necessary.
However, in your case with bubby having gastroschisis - I can totally understand why you're having the induction and for me induction is definitely preferable to having a caesar. Even if it does end up that way at least you gave your body a chance kwim?
All the best for your birth and I hope it goes well.
